[VOID] Opinion on C.R. 005

CR. 005 was called to review Article VII, section I, clause VII, which deals with a citizen's right to vote. Specifically, the filling party wanted to clarify whether nations gaining citizenship during an election can vote in that same election.

The Justices of the High Court have unanimously agreed that a new citizen can vote in any elections currently going on when they gain their citizenship. There is no constitutional basis for any argument either establishing a naturalization period for citizenship or denying them the vote.

However, given the obvious security concerns that it raises, the High Court recommends that the legislature passes a constitutional amendment addressing this issue as soon as it can. The Court would also like to remind the Executive branch of its powers regarding border control, in the event of a regional emergency regarding mass immigration and voting during election time.
