Next month, North Carolinians will decide whether "only" U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in future state elections.
House Bill 1074, referred to as the "Citizen Only Voting" amendment, would clarify the state's constitution to read that "only a citizen" is allowed to vote in the Old North State.
North Carolina law currently reads that "every person born in the United States and every person who has been naturalized, 18 years of age, and possessing the qualifications set out in this Article, shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people of the State, except as herein otherwise provided."

Why is this even on the ballot? Legal citizens by law are the only legal people allowed to vote?

Federally, yes. But there is nothing REQUIRING states to prevent noncitizens from voting in State and local elections.
