San Francisco Doles Out Voter Registration Forms to Non-Citizens
 
By Rusty | Featured Contributor | July 17, 2018 11:05AM

The Department of Elections in San Francisco has begun circulating voter registration forms for non-citizens to participate in a Board of Education vote in the 2018 election.

The city becomes the first in the Golden State to allow non-citizens a say in local elections.

The measure passed in 2016 by a vote of 54 to 46 percent, after failing two previous times.

“I think it’s critical that all of our families have a voice in the governance of our schools,” said School Board member Haney, who co-authored the resolution.
