Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 383.
Bill 118 HR 4460, also known as the NO VOTE for Non-Citizens Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections.

If passed, this bill would make it illegal for individuals who are not US citizens to cast a vote in any federal election, including presidential, congressional, and local elections. The bill seeks to uphold the principle that only citizens of the United States should have the right to participate in the democratic process and have a say in the governance of the country.

Supporters of the bill argue that allowing non-citizens to vote undermines the integrity of the electoral system and could potentially lead to voter fraud. They believe that voting is a privilege that should be reserved for those who have gone through the legal process of becoming a citizen. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that non-citizens who are permanent residents and contribute to society in various ways should have the right to participate in the democratic process. They believe that denying non-citizens the right to vote is discriminatory and goes against the principles of inclusivity and representation. Overall, the NO VOTE for Non-Citizens Act of 2023 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about who should have the right to vote in the United States. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its outcome remains uncertain.
