House to vote on bill blocking D.C. law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections


The GOP-led House is scheduled to vote Thursday on a bill blocking a 2022 Washington D.C. law that allows noncitizens to vote in local elections.

In April, the D.C. Board of Elections held a training session for noncitizens interested in registering to vote.

The House Administration Committee is scheduled to mark up legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote across the nation. 

Given GOP control of the committee, that bill is likely to pass and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said he would bring it to the floor for a vote.
