Resolution to Support Amendment 1
WHEREAS, the Boone County Republican Party affirms that the right to vote is sacred and essential to self-governance, that free, fair and legitimate elections in which every legal vote in Boone County is accurately counted is vital to the continuation of our Republic; and that the citizens of Boone County have the right and duty to demand that Boone County reserves that right for citizens of Kentucky; AND,
WHEREAS the Kentucky state constitution does not strictly state that non-citizens cannot vote in state or local elections; AND,
WHEREAS, Amendment 1’s proposal adds language that says “no person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be allowed to vote in the state”;
BE IT RESOLVED, the Boone County Republican Party urges all citizens of Boone County to vote “yes” to support Amendment 1 in our efforts to preserve the privilege we participate in according to the 15th amendment of the United State Constitution.
Adopted this 28th day of October 2024 at a regular meeting of the Boone County Republican Party.
