What it does
The bill would prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in any District of Columbia elections, including those for public office, ballot initiatives, or referendums. It would also repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which had allowed certain non-citizen residents to vote in local D.C. elections, restoring prior voting eligibility rules as if that act had never been passed. The legislation affects non-citizen residents of the District of Columbia who sought to participate in local elections under the 2022 law. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
