Non-citizens in Washington D.C. would lose their right to vote in local elections.
This bill would stop individuals who are not U.S. citizens from voting in local elections, ballot initiatives, and referendums in Washington D.C. It would repeal a 2022 law that currently allows them to vote. This means non-citizen residents in D.C. would no longer be able to cast ballots in local races.
A 2022 law (D.C. Law 24-242) currently allows individuals who are not U.S. citizens to vote in local elections in Washington D.C. This law is called the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act. If this bill becomes law, these individuals would no longer be allowed to vote. This includes any election for public office, ballot initiative, or referendum in the District of Columbia.
