Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
The bill creates financial incentives for states to verify that noncitizens are not registered to vote. States must certify that noncitizens cannot vote, and priority for grants goes to states using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program and similar databases. While undocumented individuals are already prohibited from voting in federal elections, this could lead to more aggressive voter roll purges that indirectly affect mixed-status families and communities.
“The State uses available resources to ensure that noncitizens are not registered to vote and do not vote in such elections, which may include the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program administered by the Secretary of Homeland Security”
