New York City Lawmakers Pass Bill Giving Noncitizens Right to Vote


new york worthy christian news(Worthy News) – Noncitizens in New York City would gain the right to vote in municipal elections under a measure approved Thursday by the City Council that would give access to the ballot box to 800,000 green card holders and so-called Dreamers.

The council’s vote was a historic moment for an effort that had long languished. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
