Election Reform: Open Primaries for Unaffiliated Voters and Noncitizen Voting Ban.
This Act expands voting rights by allowing individuals not affiliated with a political party to participate in federal, state, and local primary elections, while ensuring their privacy and registration status are protected. Crucially, the legislation explicitly prohibits non-citizens from voting in any taxpayer-funded election, including state and local contests, if the state utilizes federal election administration funds.
