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

Bill 118 SJRes 6 is a joint resolution 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 Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 is a piece of legislation that would grant voting rights to non-citizens who are residents of the District of Columbia.

The resolution, introduced in the Senate, seeks to express disapproval of this action by the DC Council. The resolution argues that granting voting rights to non-citizens goes against the principles of democracy and the Constitution, which reserves voting rights for US citizens. Supporters of the resolution believe that only citizens should have the right to vote in elections, as it is a fundamental aspect of citizenship.

Opponents of the resolution argue that non-citizens who are 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. The resolution is currently being debated in Congress, with both sides presenting their arguments for and against the disapproval of the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022. It remains to be seen whether the resolution will be passed and what impact it will have on voting rights in the District of Columbia.
