Voting limited to citizens

In the exercise of its powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to enforce the prohibition of section 1 of such Article against the making or enforcing of any law that shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, the Congress determines that the right of citizens to vote is a privilege of citizens of the United States and that voting in elections of the United States or of any State by persons who are not citizens of the United States is an abridgement of that privilege. It shall be unlawful, and a felony punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 and/or imprisonment of not more than 1 year for each unlawful vote, for any person who is not a citizen of the United States to vote in any election to which the provisions of the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-Fourth, or Twenty-Sixth Article of Amendment to the Constitution applies or in any other election, referendum, ballot, or other procedure of the United States or of any State in which votes are taken. Any vote that is cast in violation of this section shall be null, void, and of no effect and shall not be counted.
