Trump-backed election integrity bill barring noncitizens from voting passes House

Published July 10, 2024 5:26pm ET



The House passed a GOP election integrity bill on Wednesday that will bar noncitizens from voting in federal elections, a win for House Republicans as they step up messaging ahead of the 2024 elections.

All Republicans voted to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, with all but five Democrats voting against the measure. The bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require people to provide proof of citizenship before registering to vote.
