These 8 states have ballot measures targeting noncitizen voting – already illegal in federal elections

Voters in eight states, most of them heavily Republican, are deciding on ballot measures this year that aim to require US citizenship to vote – even though it is already illegal for noncitizens to cast ballots in federal elections.
Voters in eight states, most of them heavily Republican, are deciding on ballot measures this year that aim to require US citizenship to vote – even though it is already illegal for noncitizens to cast ballots in federal elections. The ballot measures in Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wisconsin come on the heels of House Republicans passing a bill with a similar goal this summer and as former President Donald Trump and his allies stoke fears of voter fraud ahead of the election. CNN has fact-checked the Republican allegations of widespread noncitizen voting and found only a tiny number of examples of noncitizens voting in elections when they were ineligible to do so. In one recent example, Michigan prosecutors charged a Chinese citizen with voter fraud and perjury after he allegedly cast a ballot in the 2024 election. Here are the state ballot measures on noncitizen voting that voters are deciding on: The Idaho Constitution says that “every male or female citizen of the United States” who meets certain age and residency requirements is eligible to vote in the state. A measure on Idaho’s ballot seeks to amend the state’s constitution to add a sentence stating that noncitizens are barred from voting in any election within the state.
