A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.

This joint resolution seeks to use Congress’s oversight authority to block a specific law passed by the District of Columbia Council. If enacted, the resolution would nullify the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allows noncitizen residents to vote in local D.C. elections for offices such as mayor and city council. Consequently, the bill would prevent noncitizens in the District from participating in local elections and maintain the previous requirement that voters must be U.S. citizens.
