The second will require that Jurisdictions subject to coverage under section 203 provide bilingual voting materials to citizens upon request. This amendment will reaffirm Congress commitment that only citizens should vote and clarify. consistent with the Department of Justice regulations. that compliance with section 203 may be accomplished by targeting multilingual voting assistance to those who have the greatest need for such assistance. It is surprising to me that. true. we do have jurisdictions In this country that are beginning to offer the opportunity to vote to noncitizens. and I certainly do not think we ought to be dictating the kind of voting requirements in this bill to those who are not citizens. For those reasons. I have grave reservations about this bill. but I do have the amendments to offer.
