The legislative body in South Carolina has recently undertaken a significant measure to preserve the integrity of the electoral process. The proposal, named as The Citizens Only Voting Amendment, has the potential to modify the constitution of the state, ensuring that only American citizens can cast their vote in state elections.

On May 2, the South Carolina House of Representatives threw their unanimous support behind the bill, endorsing it with a 105-0 vote. Earlier, Senate Joint Resolution 1126 sailed through the Senate having secured broad support with a 40-3 vote, as reported by Legal Newsline.

Republican Senator Josh Kimbrell, the brain behind the bill, expressed his satisfaction at the progress made. In his words, 'South Carolina has made a commendable progress in preserving the sanctity of citizenship. We have made our stand clear—we will never entertain voting by non-citizens in any of our state elections.'

He further emphasized the state's commitment to ease the process for eligible, law-abiding citizens, saying 'while we take a firm stance against voting by non-citizens, we are equally committed to facilitating legal and law-abiding citizens, both of this state and of the United States at large, to exercise their democratic rights in all our elections.'

The respected Senator from Spartanburg is confident of the amendment winning the public's endorsement this fall. Recent data indicates an overwhelming support for the change among South Carolinians. Significantly, a staggering majority of approximately 80 percent seem to be favoring this shift of policy.
