This bill would require anyone voting in District of Columbia local elections to be a United States citizen and to provide proof of citizenship to the Board of Elections. The requirement would apply to elections for mayor, city council members, the attorney general, school board members, and advisory neighborhood commissioners, as well as to ballot measures like initiatives and referendums. The legislation would repeal a 2022 DC law that allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. The bill was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, but does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines.
