Massachusetts S512 extends voting rights in municipal elections to noncitizen voters of the commonwealth.

Massachusetts S512 amends the state's election laws to allow noncitizen voters, who are 18 years or older and have legal immigration status, to vote in municipal elections. The bill requires municipal election officers to notify noncitizen voters of their rights and limitations, including the potential impact on U.S. citizenship applications. Noncitizen voters can participate in town meetings and run for municipal offices. The state secretary will issue a noncitizen voter registration form and disseminate it alongside citizen voter forms.
