Bill Summary

AN ACT 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.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections within the District of Columbia, which includes both public office elections and ballot initiatives or referendums. Additionally, the bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, effectively nullifying any previous provisions that may have allowed non-citizens to vote in D.C. elections and restoring the legal status quo that existed before that law was enacted. By preventing non-citizens from participating in local elections, the bill aims to restrict voting rights to only those who are official United States citizens, regardless of their residency status in the District of Columbia. The legislation would ensure that only U.S. citizens can influence electoral outcomes in the nation's capital, which is a unique federal district that does not have full statehood or traditional representation in Congress.
