Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit voting in Federal, State, or local elections by individuals who are not citizens of the United States.

# Summary of HJRES 107 **What the Bill Would Do** This proposed constitutional amendment would explicitly prohibit non-citizens from voting in any U.S. elections—federal, state, or local. Currently, federal law already bars non-citizens from voting in federal elections, and most states prohibit non-citizen voting in state and local elections as well. This amendment would constitutionally enshrine that prohibition across all election levels. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The amendment would apply to non-citizens, including permanent residents (green card holders) and others living in the U.S.

who are not American citizens. For a constitutional amendment to become law, it must pass both the House and Senate with a two-thirds majority in each chamber, then be ratified by at least 38 states. Currently, HJRES 107 is in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. The bill was introduced by Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) in the 119th Congress.
