Los Angeles voters are set to decide whether some noncitizens can vote in city elections after the Los Angeles City Council advances a proposal to the November 3 ballot. The measure is approved by the City Council in a 10-5 vote and would give the city the legal authority to create a program allowing certain noncitizens to participate in municipal elections, with related provisions also tied to school board elections, according to reports. Several outlets note that the proposal has drawn public criticism and online backlash, with critics arguing that it would change the role of citizenship in local voting. Supporters and opponents are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but the key step described across coverage is that the Council is putting the question to voters rather than adopting the program immediately. If voters approve the measure on Nov. 3, the city would move forward with implementing a noncitizen voting program under the authority granted by the ballot initiative.
