Bill Summary
For legislation to grant noncitizen permanent residents in the town of Warwick the right to vote in municipal elections. Election Laws. [Local Approval Received.]
AI Summary
This bill would grant noncitizen permanent residents of the town of Warwick the right to vote in municipal elections, despite the general law requiring US citizenship to register to vote. The select board of Warwick would be able to promulgate regulations to implement this law, but the bill explicitly states that it does not confer the right to vote in state or federal elections on permanent resident aliens.
