H.R. 9264: No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act

This bill would change federal law so that there are no exceptions to the rule against non-citizens voting in U.S. elections.

What it changes

• It amends a federal criminal law that currently makes it unlawful for aliens to vote in certain elections, but includes some exceptions.
• The bill removes those exceptions, so the ban would apply more broadly.
• It also changes immigration law so that any alien who votes in violation of any federal, state, or local rule would be:
  • inadmissible to the United States, meaning they could be denied entry or certain immigration benefits, and
  • deportable, meaning they could be removed from the country.

Practical effect

In plain terms, the bill would make it easier for the federal government to treat non-citizen voting as a serious immigration violation. It would apply to voting that breaks any applicable federal, state, or local law or rule, and it would remove any current legal carveouts that might otherwise allow some non-citizens to vote in limited situations.
