Impact Analysis

Life & Work

The bill directs states to actively identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and requires the Department of Homeland Security to investigate any noncitizens found registered to vote for possible deportation proceedings. While it is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, this bill creates a new enforcement pathway that could put undocumented individuals at greater risk of detection and removal.
