This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly define voter eligibility at all levels of government. The amendment would prohibit individuals who are not citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent residents of the United States from participating in any election. This restriction would apply to all Federal, State, Tribal, and local elections, including those held in the District of Columbia and U.S. territories or possessions. If ratified by three-fourths of the States within seven years, this amendment would become part of the Constitution, granting Congress the power to enforce its provisions.
