This week's question was, How many states have approved ballot measures prohibiting noncitizens from voting?
In the Thursday Brew, we looked at a measure Missouri voters will decide that would prohibit ranked-choice voting (RCV) and noncitizen voting. The Missouri Legislature voted to place the constitutional amendment on the November ballot on May 17.
The measure would amend the state constitution to add the following language: "Only citizens of the United States, including occupants of soldiers' and sailors' homes, over the age of eighteen who are residents of this state and of the political subdivision in which they offer to vote are entitled to vote at all elections by the people." Currently, the constitution reads: "All citizens of the United States ..."
Four other states — Iowa, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Wisconsin — will also decide measures in 2024 related to noncitizen voting.
These five states are not the first to vote on amending their constitutions to add language about citizenship voting requirements. North Dakota became the first state to do so in 2018, and other states have followed.
