H.R. 884: 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.
This bill aims to do two main things regarding voting in the District of Columbia (D.C.):
Prohibiting Voting by Noncitizens
Firstly, it establishes that individuals who are not citizens of the United States are prohibited from voting in any elections for public office in D.C., as well as in any local ballot initiatives or referendums. This means that noncitizens, including permanent residents and others without U.S. citizenship, would lose their ability to participate in D.C. elections.
Repealing the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022
Secondly, the bill seeks to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. This particular law previously allowed certain noncitizen residents of D.C. to vote in local elections. By repealing this amendment, the bill restores the voting regulations to those that existed prior to its enactment, effectively ending provisions that permitted noncitizens to participate in elections.
Summary of Changes
- Noncitizen Voting Ban: No voting rights for noncitizens in D.C. elections.
- Repeal of Previous Legislation: The 2022 law allowing noncitizen voting is annulled, restoring prior voting rules.
Implementation of the Bill
If passed, this bill would immediately affect the voting rights of noncitizens in D.C., enforcing stricter regulations on who can participate in the electoral process at both local and public office levels.
