This bill prohibits non-U.S. citizens from voting in District of Columbia elections and repeals the DC law enacted in 2022 that had allowed noncitizens meeting residency and other requirements to vote in local elections. The 2022 DC law had gone into effect on February 23, 2023. Federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections; this bill removes the exception that DC had created for local elections.
