Ban on Using Federal Funds for Non-Citizen Voting in D.C. Elections.

This bill aims to prevent the District of Columbia (D.C.) government from using federal money to conduct elections where non-citizens are allowed to vote. To receive federal funds, D.C. must officially certify that it prohibits non-citizens from participating in any election. This creates a financial requirement for D.C. to align its local voting rules with federal restrictions.
Key points
The District of Columbia cannot use federal funds if it permits individuals who are not U.S. citizens to vote in any election.
D.C. must provide formal certification of compliance with this prohibition to receive or maintain federal funding.
