Citizenship voting measures pass in five states, fail in Arizona

Decision Desk HQ projects voters approved citizenship voting measures in Kansas, Arkansas, West Virginia, South Dakota and Alaska, and rejected one in Arizona.

Posted

Voters in five states approved ballot measures on citizen-only voting, and Arizona voters rejected one, according to Decision Desk HQ projections reported by The Hill.

Kansas, Arkansas, West Virginia and South Dakota each passed a constitutional amendment. The Kansas measure makes a mild wording change to the state's existing citizenship requirement. West Virginia's Amendment 1 changes language in its constitution. South Dakota's Amendment J makes clear that only U.S. citizens can vote. In Arkansas, the measure allows only citizens who meet certain criteria to vote. DDHQ had "yes" at about 69 percent there in the early hours of Wednesday.

Alaska's Initiative Petition 25USCV, which makes minor wording changes to state law on citizenship and voter eligibility, is also projected to pass.

In Arizona, the measure would have said only U.S. citizens can register and vote. It would also have banned foreign nationals from contributing to elections in the state. DDHQ projected it would fail shortly after midnight Eastern time on Wednesday, with 62 percent of votes counted.

NBC News reports that across ballot measures nationwide on Tuesday, voters also mostly backed abortion rights and voter ID requirements.
