Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
S. 2636 would prohibit noncitizens from voting in District of Columbia elections and referendums, and would repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which currently allows certain noncitizens to vote in D.C. local elections. The bill directly affects the District of Columbia and its noncitizen residents who are eligible to vote under current law. The legislation contains no funding provisions or implementation timelines specified in the text. This bill would reverse a 2022 D.C. law that expanded voting eligibility to include noncitizens who are lawful permanent residents and other authorized residents of the district. The measure was introduced by a bipartisan group of Senate Republicans in July 2025 and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
