- LA City Council pulls noncitizen voting proposal at the last minute
The Los Angeles City Council removed a ballot proposal that would have allowed non-citizens to vote in council and school board elections, citing the need for further review. A second proposal to expand council authority over the police department was also withdrawn and will be reconsidered by a committee. Both measures were initially approved for the November ballot in a 10-5 vote.
