A migrant-labor organizer wants Toledo officials to grant illegal immigrants the right to vote in municipal elections, a controversial proposal that has gained traction in other U.S. communities but might never work in northwest Ohio’s largest city.

Baldemar Velasquez, president of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, proposed Toledo rethink its voter eligibility rules at a Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority meeting March 22. He said it is the first time he has publicly suggested the change, though he has discussed it privately for several years.
