South Carolina voters will decide in November on a constitutional amendment that would allow only American citizens to vote in all state elections.
The Citizens Only Voting Amendment passed the South Carolina House of Representatives on a 105-0 vote May 2. Senate Joint Resolution 1126 passed the Senate last month a 40-3 vote.
“Today South Carolina took an important step forward in defending the value of citizenship,” Senator Josh Kimbrell, the bill’s author, said. “We will never allow a non-citizen to vote in any election in our state, but we will make it easy for legal, law-abiding citizens of the United States and of our state to vote in all our elections. Citizenship matters, and this vote proves that point.”
