Amendment 1 would clarify that citizenship is a requirement to vote in Kentucky
SUMMARY: In November, Kentucky voters will face two ballot questions regarding constitutional amendments. The first, known as Amendment One, aims to clarify that non-citizens are not entitled to vote in the state. Lawmakers supporting this proposal believe it will eliminate any potential interpretation that might allow non-citizen voting, ensuring only US citizens have voting rights. They view the amendment as a proactive measure against possible future local decisions to permit non-citizen voting, referencing instances in California, Maryland, Vermont, and Washington D.C. where such voting has been allowed in local elections. This amendment empowers Kentuckians to make this decision directly.

The amendment would change Kentucky’s constitution to say that “no person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be allowed to vote” in Kentucky’s elections.
