Bill > S2636

This bill aims to prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in elections in the District of Columbia (D.C.) and simultaneously repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. Specifically, the bill establishes that individuals who are not U.S. citizens cannot vote in any D.C. public office elections, ballot initiatives, or referendums. By repealing the previous 2022 voting rights act, the bill effectively reverses a prior law that had expanded voting rights to non-citizen residents of D.C. The legislation ensures that only U.S. citizens can participate in local D.C. electoral processes, effectively narrowing the scope of who can vote in municipal elections. This bill represents a significant change in local voting regulations for the District of Columbia, reinforcing citizenship as a prerequisite for electoral participation.
