Section 212(a)(10)(D) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(10)(D) ) is amended to read as follows: Except as provided in clause (iii), any alien who has voted in violation of any Federal, State, or local constitutional provision, statute, ordinance, or regulation is inadmissible. Except as provided in subclause
(II)and clause (iii), any alien convicted of violating section 612 of title 18, United States Code, is inadmissible. If an alien described in subclause

An alien shall not be considered to be inadmissible under this subparagraph if— the alien voted in a Federal, State, or local election (including an initiative, recall, or referendum) in violation of a lawful restriction of voting to citizens; each natural parent of the alien (or, in the case of an adopted alien, each adoptive parent of the alien) is or was a United States citizen (whether by birth or naturalization); the alien permanently resided in the United States before reaching 16 years of age; and the alien reasonably believed at the time of the violation described in clause
