Bans non-citizens from voting in all U.S. federal, state, and local elections.

This bill proposes a change to the U.S. Constitution that would clearly state only U.S. citizens can vote in any election. This includes federal, state, and local elections, as well as votes on ballot questions. If approved, this would override any local rules that currently allow non-citizens to vote.

What Would Change

Today, the U.S. Constitution doesn't specifically say only citizens can vote, and some local areas let non-citizens vote in certain local elections. If this bill becomes law, the Constitution would be changed to clearly state that only U.S. citizens can vote in any federal, state, or local election, or on any ballot question.

Key Provisions

Would add a new rule to the Constitution saying only U.S. citizens can vote in any federal, state, or local election, or on any ballot question.
Would give Congress the power to create new laws to make sure this rule is followed.
Would become part of the Constitution if two-thirds of Congress approves it and then three-fourths of state legislatures agree to it within seven years.
