Bill 118 hjres 24 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of the action taken by the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. The Act in question would grant voting rights to non-citizens who are legal residents of the District of Columbia.The bill argues that granting voting rights to non-citizens goes against the principles of democracy and the Constitution, which reserves the right to vote for citizens of the United States. Supporters of the bill believe that only citizens should have the right to vote in elections, as they are the ones who have a vested interest in the outcome of those elections.
Opponents of the bill argue that non-citizens who are legal residents of the District of Columbia should have a say in local elections, as they are affected by the decisions made by local government officials. They believe that denying voting rights to non-citizens is discriminatory and goes against the values of inclusivity and representation. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 24 is a contentious piece of legislation that raises important questions about who should have the right to vote in the United States.
