New York City Moves Closer to Allowing Noncitizens to Vote in Elections:
New York City is on the verge of allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections.
The bill, named “Our City, Our Vote,” would allow more than 800,000 noncitizen New Yorkers to vote, according to The New York Times. These are New York residents who have green cards or the legal right to work in the United States but have not been able to vote on local and municipal issues because they do not have citizenship.
The City Council likely will approve the bill on Dec. 9, the Times reported.
The explanation behind the bill is that there are nearly 1 million residents who live or have lived in the city for a long time but have never had a say in the city’s direction.
“These New York City residents live here, work here, go to school here, and are raising families here, but despite paying billions of dollars in taxes every year, they have no vote on the direction of our city,” reads the website explaining the movement behind the bill. —>READ MORE HERE

New York City lawmakers are poised to allow more than 800,000 New Yorkers who are green card holders or have the legal right to work in the United States to vote in municipal elections and for local ballot initiatives.
The bill, known as “Our City, Our Vote,” would make New York City the largest municipality in the country to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.
And considering that New York City’s government now leans leftward of AOC and is willing to pass anything, assume it’s happening. —>READ MORE HERE
