The City Council announced Monday that it will ask the state’s highest court to weigh-in a law that expands voting rights to hundreds of thousands of noncitizens after a state appeals court struck down the measure last month.
The council’s Democratic leadership, via the city Law Department, filed a notice on March 25 indicating the body plans to ask the state Court of Appeals to overturn the Appellate Division for the state’s Second Judicial Department’s recent ruling that the law — Local Law 11 — is unconstitutional.
