SC S1054

Requests U.S. Congress propose a constitutional amendment requiring only U.S. citizens to vote in federal elections, including primaries and general elections for President, Vice President, Senators, and Representatives

Asserts that the current Constitution grants states exclusive power to determine voter qualifications, with no existing provision prohibiting states from allowing non-citizens to vote in state legislature elections (which would extend to federal elections)

Notes that South Carolina voters ratified a state constitutional amendment in 2024 with 86% approval prohibiting non-citizens from voting in local, state, or federal elections

Argues that federal statutes claiming to prohibit non-citizen voting cannot override state constitutional authority, making a U.S. constitutional amendment the only way to guarantee citizen-only voting nationwide

Directs that copies of this concurrent resolution be sent to members of South Carolina's congressional delegation
