Elections: registration; registering to vote and voting by individuals who are not United States citizens; prohibit. Amends 1954 PA 116 (MCL 168.1 - 168.992) by adding sec. 492c.
This bill proposes to explicitly state in Michigan election law that individuals who are not U.S. citizens are ineligible to register to vote or participate in any election within the state. The key provision adds a new section to the existing election code to clarify that non-citizens cannot vote in federal, state, or local races. By codifying this restriction, the bill aims to reinforce current legal standards regarding voter eligibility without changing the underlying requirement of citizenship.
