The following states will be asking voters whether they'd like to amend their state law/constitution as it relates to citizenship voting. Most of the measures below will ask voters to state whether they want the state constitution to explicitly state that only U.S. citizens may vote. It is currently illegal for anyone who is not a U.S. citizen to vote, aside from a few communities that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.
In Arizona and California, the ballot measures have additional language focused on voter ID requirements. Additionally, California's Prop 39 would not explicitly state that noncitizens may vote, and rather would require each county to conduct sweeps for noncitizens who are registered to vote.
The exact language of each ballot measure is linked below.
