	Eric Adams on Immigration

Allow lawful non-citizens right to vote in city elections

We will empower legal immigrants with municipal voting rights. There are more than 3 million immigrants in New York City. The vast majority of these New Yorkers cannot vote in local elections even though many are legal tax-paying residents. By allowing lawfully permanent residents and other non-citizens authorized to work in the United States the right to vote, we will enfranchise nearly 1 million New Yorkers who deserve a say in how their city is run--and who runs it.
