“It’s simple: only Americans should vote in American elections,” Jordan (R-Ohio) said. “Congresswoman Lee’s amendment is a common-sense proposal that creates a uniform, nationwide standard that will protect federal elections permanently.”

“Requiring voters to be U.S. citizens ensures that the people making decisions about our government are those who are permanent members of our nation and communities.”

Most people will just see the headline: 750,000 signatures submitted.
But what that number actually represents is thousands of conversations, countless volunteer hours, and people all across Michigan stepping up because they care about the future of our state.
Today the Citizens Only Voting constitutional amendment campaign submitted more than 750,000 signatures to the Michigan Bureau of Elections to place this proposal on the ballot.
Over 17,000 volunteer circulators helped collect those signatures. That kind of grassroots effort doesn’t happen without people who are willing to show up, put in the work, and engage their communities.
I’m incredibly proud that Victory Field Operations had the opportunity to partner with MICHCOV to help lead the volunteer collection effort. Watching so many volunteers across Michigan step up for this effort has been truly inspiring.
The signatures now head to the Michigan Secretary of State’s office for certification, which will determine whether this constitutional amendment appears on the November 2026 ballot.
Regardless of where someone stands on an issue, the ability of citizens to organize and bring proposals directly to the ballot is one of the most powerful parts of our democratic process.
And today was a major milestone in that process.

“This is a simple constitutional amendment that I believe most citizens will support and makes it consistent throughout the state that only U.S. citizens can vote in any West Virginia election."
— West Virginia State Senator Patricia Rucker
"Alaskans for Citizen Voting expects the petition to be certified within 60 days. Alaskans will vote on the initiative during the 2026 general election in November." https://t.co/94Si1W3U0y

We took particular interest in 1:21 to 2:03 of AAG Dhillon's message.
What do you think?
"We've checked 47.5 million voter records. We found 260,000 plus dead people enrolled in the state's voter rolls, which is pretty concerning. They're going to be removed with the help of the DOJ. And finally, that there are several thousand non-citizens who are enrolled to vote in federal elections.
This is very concerning. And the DOJ is partnering with local law enforcement where appropriate, to prosecute people who have unlawfully voted in our elections. Even one person voting who shouldn't have voted is one too many, because every citizen is entitled to one person, one vote assumption that their vote is being counted equally and only with other American citizens."
— Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon
Under @AGPamBondi, @CivilRights has been hard at work delivering results for America!
• 14 states sued for voter rolls
• 4 states willingly complied
• NC cleaning up over 100k registrations
• 260k dead registrants identified
• Thousands of non-citizens identified
ARTICLE: Some may wonder why we are nitpicking over a single word — may. But legal language matters. Our statutes specifically require that anyone circulating a petition be a U.S. citizen. Yet when it comes to voter qualifications, the language weakens. The existing statute states that a person may vote if they are a U.S. citizen, but it does not require them to be.
“Over 80% of people support the need to use government-issued photo ID to vote. Only citizens are eligible to vote in our election we know of over a dozen cases last year where non-citizens may have cast ballots. We need to plug the holes in our system now to ensure there is integrity in our elections.”
— State Sen. Ruth Johnson, R-Holly
The ballot initiative by Alaskans for Citizen Voting (ACV), was recently approved to begin gathering signatures from across the state.
If voters approve the measure, Alaska will join the growing list of states that have moved decisively to protect the integrity of their voter rolls from non-citizen voting schemes.
"Joe Ceballos, who garnered nearly 83% of the vote Tuesday for a second term as Coldwater mayor, was charged with three counts of voting without being qualified and three counts of election perjury. Both are felony offenses."
— Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach
“Tonight’s victory for Proposition 16 is a win for Texas voters and for election integrity. Texans made it clear — only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections, from city hall to the statehouse. This amendment protects the principle that every legal vote counts and that our elections reflect the voice of citizens alone. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to make this historic result possible.”
— Charlie Kolean, Americans for Citizen Voting Texas State Director
@JeffForres67110 Cities would get around the code by maintaining their own election rolls thus bypassing the state law. It is happening around the country. Fortunately thanks to the voters non-citizens won't be able to legally vote in Texas
