Vermont Senate okays noncitizens voting in capital city's elections
Fox News
Noncitizens who reside in Vermont's capital city Montpelier are now one step closer to being able to vote in certain local elections.
Democrats in two Vermont towns are pushing for noncitizens to be allowed to vote in certain elections but must seek approval from state lawmakers first. The Vermont House of Representatives approved the changes earlier this year. "All resident (or non-citizen) voting in local elections has failed to make it to the floor twice before in the #VT Senate. Today it passed in the #Montpelier Charter on a vote of 21-9. A step forward for inclusive democracy," Vermont state Sen. Kesha Ram wrote on Twitter on Tuesday.More Related News
