Protecting Our Democracy by Preventing Foreign Citizens from Voting Act
This bill would block federal funding to any state or local government that permits non-citizens to vote in federal, state, or local elections. States and localities seeking federal funds must certify they do not allow non-citizen voting as a condition of receiving those funds. The rule applies only to new funding agreements entered into after the bill's enactment, not existing contracts. It directly affects state and local government budgets by tying federal financial assistance to compliance with citizenship requirements for voting.
