LA councilmember wants to allow noncitizens to vote in city elections

[BlindBoo]

California doesn't allow noncitizen, legal residents to vote in State elections. Localities are allow by the state to let some noncitizens participate in local elections. Most states do not. What happened to all the States Right howlers in the GOP? Was that just phony howling ya'll did back then? Hahaha of course it was.

Non citizens should have no representation anyway. They aren't citizens.

Where in the Constitution does it give the Feds the right to tell the States how to run elections, how to make the rules, in the states elections. Not federal elections, everybody knows they have a right to set rules by statute on federal elections.

you must be all of the following:

1. A San Francisco resident who intends to remain so until the next Board of Education election;
2. The parent, legal guardian, or caregiver* of a child living in San Francisco;
3. At least 18 years of age on Election Day; and
4. Not disqualified from voting under state law for imprisonment or mental incompetence.

*A caregiver is someone who signs the affidavit to enroll a minor in school and consents to school-related medical care on behalf of the minor. This is determined by state law, in CA Family Code §6550-6552.

Register​

Local law requires all non-citizen voters to register for Board of Education elections using a postage-paid NCV registration form. This form is also available at the Department’s office. Completed non-citizen registration forms must be returned by mail or in person. A new NCV registration form must be completed for each Board of Education election by any non-citizen voter.

Non-citizen voters cannot use the state voter registration form or register at state offices (e.g., Department of Motor Vehicles).

Registration of any non-citizen voter will expire after each local Board of Education election. Non-citizen registrants may cancel their voter registration at any time by contacting the Department of Elections or by returning a NCV registration cancellation form.
