A new bill is being proposed that would allow Brooklyn residents who are not U.S. citizens the right to vote in city elections. Under current New York State law, legal residents of Brooklyn who are not U.S citizens cannot vote. The Voting Rights Restoration Act, which was proposed by the New York Coalition to Expand Voting Rights, hopes to change that. Members of the coalition say the goal is to allow Brooklyn residents who have completed their paperwork to become legal citizens and who have lived in the borough for at least six months the right to vote in municipal elections. The coalition says out of the roughly two million adults living in Brooklyn about 500 fits this status. Coalition members say the bill will be introduced to the City Council in a couple of weeks.
