Knowledge of the law is helpful.“ US public laws says:
“Aliens are authorized to vote for such other purpose under a State constitution or statute or a local ordinance […] conducted independently of voting for a candidate for such Federal offices.”⁴So what does this exactly mean? Do you have to be a citizen to vote or can permanent residents vote too?
Simply put, if the laws of the state or municipality allow for some types of voting by non-US citizens, then you can vote in local elections. The only case in which this wouldn’t apply is if the state election has repercussions at the federal level.
Right now, there are 10 municipalities across the US that allow non-citizen voting in local elections. Nine of these are in Maryland and the other is in California.”
I’m reminded of this every time someone mentions God using bad people …..
