RESOLUTION PROPOSING A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CONCERNING THE RIGHT TO VOTE IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS FOR CERTAIN LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENTS.

HJ 26 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow certain lawful permanent residents to vote in municipal elections. It would grant voting rights to individuals authorized to work in the U.S. who have lived in the state for at least five years, including for local school boards. The amendment specifically applies to municipal elections only, not state or federal races. This change would directly affect eligible lawful permanent residents meeting the residency and work authorization requirements. The resolution aims to expand local voting access for this group without altering broader voting eligibility.
