Deport Illegal Voters Act of 2025

This bill would treat illegal voting by a noncitizen as a serious immigration crime. It adds “unlawful voting” to the list of aggravated felonies in immigration law, which can lead to deportation and block someone from entering the United States in the future. It also says any noncitizen who has voted in violation of federal, state, or local law is inadmissible, and it removes the older deportability rule that separately covered unlawful voting because the new “aggravated felony” rule would apply instead. A Library of Congress summary explains that current law already makes unlawful voting a reason for deportation and inadmissibility, with a limited exception for people who reasonably believed they were citizens; this bill tightens the rules by classifying the conduct as an aggravated felony.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Noncitizens who vote in violation of federal, state, or local law.
• What changes: Unlawful voting becomes an “aggravated felony,” triggering deportation and making a person inadmissible; the prior specific deportability paragraph is removed.
• When: The changes would take effect upon enactment, as no different effective date is stated in the bill text.
