SC Voters Approved Only Citizens Can Vote

Voters across South Carolinam overwhelmingly Supported a Measure to Change the State Constitution, how Citizens Vote in future Elections.

South Carolina's Constitution currently states: "Every Citizen of the United States who is registered can Vote." However, Voters overwhelmingly Approved a Yes-or-No Measure that Changes the word "Every" to "Only", to ensure Non-Citizens aren't Voting.

The Results show that 86% of Voters in South Carolina voted “Yes” to this Ballot Question on Election Day.

The Measure will still need One Final Approval from the 2025 General Assembly, This Second Vote requires a Majority in the House and Senate, in order for the Constitution to be Amended.

There is No Evidence that Non-Citizens Voted in wide margins in South Carolina Elections.

Democrats and Advocates who Opposed the Measure noted, Non-Citizens are already Blocked from Voting in Federal Elections and are Only allowed to participate in Local Elections in a handful of Cities.

But currently, Non-Citizens Voting in Federal Elections are Not required to Show Proof of Citizenship.

Citizenship: It is time to Update the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) for All Elections, with the definintion of Acceptable Documents when Registering to Vote.

The Slight Language Change, is a concerted Effort in multiple States. South Carolina was One of Eight States that had the Ballot Measure during the 2024 Election: Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, were the other Seven.

Five other States have already Approved it: Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma.
