Pfluger Introduces Bill Prohibiting Noncitizens from Overseeing American Elections

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger introduced the No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act, which prohibits noncitizens from serving as election administrators for U.S. federal elections.

"American elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and entrusting their administration to noncitizens undermines the very essence of our nation's sovereignty," said Congressman August Pfluger. "The No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act ensures that only those loyal to our country and committed to its values oversee the sacred process of voting. We must safeguard the integrity of our electoral system from foreign influence at every level." 

Kelly Wong, a Chinese noncitizen, was sworn in to serve on the San Francisco Election Commission in February. Wong is not legally allowed to vote in the United States but will serve on the seven-member board charged with overseeing and implementing policies for the San Francisco Department of Elections.
