What this bill would do
Official summary · Congressional Research Service

This bill prohibits a non-U.S. citizen from voting in a District of Columbia (DC) election and repeals relevant provisions of DC law.

Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in a federal election; however, in 2022, DC enacted a law allowing noncitizens who meet residency and other requirements to vote in local elections. This bill repeals the DC law, which went into effect on February 23, 2023.

4 steps remain before this bill could become law.

The record's latest action, on June 11, 2025: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

  1. Clearing the committees it was referred to, and being scheduled for a floor vote

How likely is it to become law?

Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.

In the 118th Congress (2023-24), 274 of the 16,565 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 1.7 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.

This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.

Has anyone actually voted on it?

Yes. 1 recorded roll-call vote cites this measure, listed further down this page with every member's position.

Who is behind it?

August Pfluger (R-TX) introduced it on January 31, 2025, and 14 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They are 14 Republicans.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

How long has it been in play?

It was introduced on January 31, 2025, 652 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 521 days ago, on June 11, 2025.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.

Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
