This bill aims to reinforce the integrity of federal elections by establishing new penalties for non-citizens who vote. It specifically targets individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States and participate in federal elections, referencing existing prohibitions against alien voting. The legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act in two key ways. First, it designates voting in a federal election by an unlawfully present alien as an aggravated felony , which carries significant immigration consequences. Second, it explicitly adds this offense to the list of grounds for deportability , ensuring that such individuals can be removed from the country.
