Kentucky voters will decide on a constitutional amendment that would prohibit noncitizen voting in elections on Nov. 5, 2024.
The constitutional amendment would add language to the Kentucky Constitution to provide that “no person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be allowed to vote in this state.”
Noncitizens cannot vote or register to vote in Kentucky for any state or local elections. In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections, including elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential elections. This does not apply to elections at the state and local levels.
