While no communities in Wisconsin allow noncitizens to vote, Republicans want to prevent that possibility in the future by amending the constitution.

A referendum item on the ballot in November will ask voters to decide if wording on voting eligibility within the state’s constitution should read that “only” a U.S. citizen, who is 18 years or older and a state resident, may vote in any national, state or local office or at a statewide or local referendum.

Wisconsin voters will decide in November whether to amend the state constitution to expressly prohibit noncitizens from voting in local elections.
