Los Angeles proposal to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections sparks online backlash
Los Angeles City Council advanced a proposal to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, facing backlash from Elon Musk, GOP senators, and conservative commentators. The measure, introduced by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez and Councilwoman Ysabel Jurado, would be decided by voters in November 2026 as part of a charter reform. Critics accused the council of empowering noncitizens against immigration enforcement.
