DC Noncitizen Voting Ban

Official title: To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.

What this does

This bill bars anyone who is not a United States citizen from voting in the District of Columbia. The prohibition covers elections for public office and any ballot initiative or referendum in the District. To make the ban stick, the bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, the D.C. law that had let noncitizen residents vote in local elections. It also revives any law that the 2022 Act had amended or repealed, restoring it as if the 2022 Act had never been enacted.
