Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to restrict the right to vote to citizens

YourVoice.Now Summary

This proposed constitutional amendment would prohibit anyone who is not a U.S. citizen from voting in any federal, state, or local election — including ballot initiatives and referendums. If ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years, it would become part of the Constitution and give Congress the power to enforce it through legislation. While most states already restrict voting to citizens, this would make it a constitutional requirement nationwide.
