President, Vice President, Presidential elector

 

Member of the Senate

 

Member of the House of Representatives

 

Delegate from the District of Columbia

 

Resident Commissioner

 

Exceptions:

 

The election is held partly for some other purpose.

 

Aliens are authorized to vote for that other purpose under a State constitution, statute, or local ordinance.

 

Voting for that other purpose is conducted independently of voting for the federal office, so aliens can vote for the other purpose but not for the federal office LII / Legal Information Institute+1.

 

(b) Violation of this section is punishable by:

 

Fine under this title

 

Imprisonment for not more than one year

 

Or both LII / Legal Information Institute+1.

 

(c) The prohibition in (a) does not apply to an alien if:

 

Each natural parent (or adoptive parent, if adopted) is or was a U.S. citizen (by birth or naturalization).

 

The alien permanently resided in the U.S. before turning 16.

 

The alien reasonably believed at the time of voting that they were a U.S. citizen LII / Legal Information Institute+1.

 

Legislative History

Added: Sept. 30, 1996, by Pub. L. 104โ€“208 (Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996).

 

Amended: Oct. 30, 2000, by Pub. L. 106โ€“395, adding subsection (c) LII / Legal Information Institute+1.

Related Notes

Prior provisions of ยง 611 dealt with campaign contributions by government contractors, repealed in 1976 LII / Legal Information Institute+1.

 

The statute is part of Title 18, Part I, Chapter 29 โ€” Elections and Political Activities LII / Legal Information Institute.

 

This law is designed to prevent aliens from participating in federal elections while allowing limited voting rights in certain state/local contexts, with narrow exceptions for those who meet citizenship and residency criteria.
