NYC law allowing noncitizens to vote struck down by NY Court of Appeals
[NYPOST] The Big Apple's controversial law allowing noncitizens to vote in city elections was struck down by the state's highest court Thursday.The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that the law — passed by the City Council in late 2021, with the support of current Democratic mayoral candidates Adrienne Adams and Brad Lander — violated the state constitution. ''Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens,'' the opinion states. No noncitizens in New York City ever cast a vote under the law, as it quickly was challenged in the courts. Posted by: Fred 2025-03-21 |
