A bill to prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.
This bill prohibits noncitizens from voting in all District of Columbia elections, including local elections for public office and ballot initiatives. It directly affects noncitizen residents of Washington D.C. who previously could vote under the repealed 2022 law. The bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, restoring the prior rule that limited voting in D.C. elections to U.S. citizens. This change would require noncitizen D.C. residents to obtain citizenship to vote in local elections.
