What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryConstitutional amendment on noncitizen voting
This proposed constitutional amendment would ban anyone who is not a U.S. citizen from voting in any election or ballot measure in America. Right now, federal law already prevents noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but some states and localities allow noncitizens to vote in certain local elections. This amendment would prohibit that across the board.
How it affects you
If this amendment were ratified, noncitizens living in the United States would no longer be able to vote in any election or ballot initiative, even at the local level. For most U.S. citizens, this doesn't change your voting rights, but it would affect immigrants and other noncitizens who currently have voting access in some places.
