Council Member Robert Holden praised a March 20 decision by the New York State Court of Appeals striking down New York City’s plan to let noncitizens vote in local elections.
The Court’s 6-1 decision firmly rejected the City’s 2022 law, which had aimed to grant voting rights to legal permanent residents and noncitizens authorized to work in the U.S. in elections for Mayor, City Council, and other local offices.
