Conference committee (if versions differ), then the President
Bans non-citizens from voting in DC elections and reverses a 2022 law that allowed it.
The problem
DC passed a law in 2022 allowing non-citizen residents to vote in local elections. This bill seeks to reverse that policy and prevent non-citizens from voting.
The proposal
The bill repeals the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 and adds a prohibition preventing non-citizens from voting in DC elections.
The impact
Non-citizen residents in DC would lose voting rights in local elections. Citizens and DC government would be affected by this voting eligibility change.
Federal law restricts voting to citizens. This bill makes DC's voting rules match federal standards, ensuring consistency across the country.
Citizenship has traditionally been a requirement for voting rights in America. This bill reinforces that standard principle.
Some people believe only citizens should vote. This bill resolves that debate by establishing one clear rule for DC.
Non-citizen DC residents who pay taxes and follow laws would lose the ability to vote on issues affecting them. This affects people with significant ties to the community.
DC voters approved the 2022 law. This federal bill overturns that local choice, reducing DC's power to make its own election rules.
Non-citizens who cannot vote might participate less in community meetings and local government. This could weaken community involvement.
Many non-citizens are immigrants who live and work in DC long-term. Removing voting rights impacts their ability to influence policies directly affecting their lives.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
