A Richmond County judge said New York City’s law extending voting rights in municipal elections to noncitizens “significantly devalues the votes of New York citizens.”
New York City’s law extending voting rights in municipal elections to noncitizens who are legally allowed to live, work and go to school in the five boroughs violates the New York State Constitution, according to a ruling issued by Justice Ralph Porzio in Richmond County State Supreme Court on Monday.
In his ruling, Porzio sided with the plaintiffs, adding the measure also violated New York State election law and the municipal home rule law.meeting the age and residency requirements are entitled to register and vote in elections,” Porzio wrote in his ruling, emphasizing the word "citizens.
The judge also affirmed the arguments made by plaintiffs that “the weight of the citizens’ vote will be diluted by municipal voters and candidates and political parties alike will need to reconfigure their campaigns.”
