To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia and to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.

# HR 884 Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would prohibit non-U.S. citizens from voting in District of Columbia local elections and repeal a 2022 DC law that allowed noncitizens to vote in those elections. The DC law, which took effect in February 2023, permitted noncitizens who met residency requirements to participate in local elections. This bill would undo that permission, returning DC to a noncitizen voting ban. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects noncitizens living in Washington, DC who currently have voting rights in local elections. It also affects DC's local government and election administration.

While federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections (like presidential races), this bill addresses only DC's local elections for city council, mayor, and similar positions. **Current Status** HR 884 has passed the House of Representatives. It now requires Senate approval to become law. The bill was sponsored by Representative August Pfluger (R-TX). The outcome depends on Senate action and whether the bill receives sufficient support to advance further in the legislative process.
