Bill overview
This resolution expresses concern that allowing noncitizens and undocumented immigrants to vote undermines the value of the U.S. franchise and reduces the voting power of American citizens. It specifically cites a New York City law that allows some noncitizens to vote in local elections as a problematic example. The resolution argues that maintaining the integrity of elections is crucial and that federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections. It seeks to highlight these issues and raise awareness about the potential consequences of expanding voting rights to non-eligible voters.
