Demanding Citizenship in DC Elections Act
This bill would require U.S. citizenship for voting in District of Columbia municipal elections. It directly affects voters in local races for mayor, council members, attorney general, education board seats, and ballot initiatives (like referendums or charter amendments). The key provision mandates that voters must prove U.S. citizenship to the Board of Elections before casting a ballot. It repeals a 2022 law that had allowed non-citizens to vote in certain local elections.
