Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Town Halls for All Act of 2026 requires every Member of Congress, including senators and representatives, to hold and personally attend at least 12 public town halls per calendar year in their home state or congressional district. These town halls must be free to attend, open to the general public, conducted in person, and last at least one hour, with organizers required to give the public at least four days' notice of the date, time, and location through email, social media, websites, or other regular communication methods. The bill also mandates that town halls comply with accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act so people with disabilities can participate. This legislation affects all 535 Members of Congress and their constituents by establishing a minimum standard for direct public engagement between elected officials and the people they represent. The law would take effect at the start of the congressional session following its enactment.
