Idaho , Iowa , Kentucky , Missouri , North Carolina , Oklahoma , South Carolina and Wisconsin passed constitutional amendments making it explicitly illegal for noncitizens to vote in state and local elections.

The amendments will modify existing language in those states’ constitutions to state that “only the citizens” can vote.

The measures are part of GOP efforts to drive the unsubstantiated narrative that noncitizens are voting in large numbers in ways that could affect the outcomes of elections.
