(From the February 14, 2024 Dominion Post article, “Senate Judiciary OKs House resolution to forbid non-citizen voting in the state”)
A House resolution for a proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting non-citizen voting in local elections took another step forward on Wednesday, with Senate Judiciary approving an amended version of it.
HJR 21 proposes a constitutional amendment to add this to the section dealing with who is and is not allowed to vote (Article IV, 4-1): “nor shall any person who is not a citizen of the United States be entitled to vote at any election held within this state.”
The House adopted it unanimously on Feb. 6, and if adopted by the Senate, it will return to the House for amendment concurrence. If finally approved, the proposed amendment would go before voters in November.
