Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

If ratified, this amendment would constitutionally bar undocumented immigrants from ever voting in federal elections. While federal law already prohibits this, the amendment would make the prohibition permanent and constitutional rather than statutory, removing any future legislative path to change. The practical impact is limited since undocumented immigrants already cannot legally vote in federal elections.

Only citizens of the United States may qualify to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress.
