Bill overview
This bill aims to reverse a recent change in the District of Columbia that allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. It would reinstate the existing federal law, which prohibits non-citizens from voting in any elections within the District, including local, state, and federal elections. The bill seeks to maintain the current restriction on non-citizen voting rights in DC. This legislation would effectively nullify the 2022 DC Council law expanding voting access.
