Background:

As first reported in Fox News, earlier this year, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) introduced a package of bills to strengthen election integrity and restore American confidence in our elections. The package included Rep. Pfluger's bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in D.C.

This bill follows a nearly unanimous vote by the D.C. City Council to advance a bill that would allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, even if they have only resided in D.C. for 30 days. This law is unjust and against federal law.

Last year, this bill passed the House by a bipartisan vote of 262-143, and this week, it passed again 266-148. Read the full release following its passage this year here.
