Non-citizens are not permitted to cast ballots in local elections, according to the New York state Supreme Court.
A resolution granting non-citizens the ability to cast a ballot in local elections was approved by the New York City City Council earlier this year.
In response to a case brought by Republican lawmakers, the New York Supreme Court declared that non-citizens are not entitled to vote.
According to the proposal, around 800,000 more New Yorkers would have been able to vote in elections for the mayor, public advocate, city council, borough presidents, and school boards.
Justice Ralph Porzio declared the law to be unconstitutional and declared it to be illegal.
He stated: “Citizens meeting the age and residency requirements are entitled to register and vote in elections. This is specifically stated in the New York State Constitution.
Porzio continued, “Though voting is a right that so many people take for granted, the City of New York cannot ‘obviate’ the restrictions imposed by the Constitution, and candidates and political parties alike will need to reconfigure their campaigns. The weight of the citizens’ vote will be diluted by municipal voters.
“Though Plaintiffs have not suffered harm today, the harm they will suffer is impending,” Porzio remarked in his decision to overturn the law.
