Only US citizens may vote in federal elections.
This would include voting for the president, US senators or members of the US House of Representatives. If a non-citizen registers to vote or votes in a US federal election, it could have severe immigration consequences, including being stripped of their green card and/or being deported. This includes lawful permanent residents /green card holders and non-immigrants, whether in or out of status.
However, laws allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections could be dangerous, and if you are a non-citizen, you should proceed with extreme caution. The reason is that it can be confusing, and a non-citizen may mistakenly register to vote and/or vote in a federal election and for federal officials. Many ballots have a mix of federal and local candidates and measures or propositions.
I am not trying to discourage anyone from voting in local elections if they are legally allowed to do so. However, I want to warn and caution you about the risks and dangers of inadvertently registering to vote or voting in federal elections and/or where it is prohibited by local law. It’s the season of the Division Schools Press Conference all over the country and I’d like to share my journey of learning and growth as a writer.
