Protecting Our Democracy by Preventing Foreign Citizens from Voting Act of 2023
S 194, the "Protecting Our Democracy by Preventing Foreign Citizens from Voting Act of 2023," would withhold federal funds from any state or local government that permits non-citizens to vote in federal, state, or local elections. States and localities applying for federal funds must certify they do not allow non-citizen voting as a condition of receiving support. This restriction applies only to new funding agreements entered into after the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects jurisdictions currently permitting non-citizen voting by threatening their access to future federal financial assistance.
