Summary


This amendment would prohibit local governments from allowing noncitizens to vote.

Currently, Article I, Section 10 of the Louisiana Constitution reads "Every citizen of the state, upon reaching eighteen years of age, shall have the right to register and vote..."

This amendment would amend the section to read "Every person who is both a citizen of the state and of the United States, upon reaching eighteen years of age, shall have the right to register and vote..."

The amendment would also add a section to the Louisiana Constitution that says, "No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be allowed to register and vote in this state."
