An Act extending voting rights in municipal elections to noncitizen voters of the Commonwealth
HD 765 would allow noncitizens with legal immigration status (18+ years old) to vote in local municipal elections, such as for mayor, school committees, or town council. To register, noncitizens must submit a special form declaring residency, and election officials must notify them within 5 days about their voting rights (limited to local elections) and limitations (no voting for federal/state offices or initiatives). The bill requires the state secretary to issue this registration form and regulations, distributing it like citizen forms, and noncitizens must maintain residency in one municipality to retain voting rights. It explicitly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal, state, or initiative elections.
