Click here to take the Immigrant Voting Project The Immigrant
Voting Project is a resource and a network dedicated to promoting
informed discussion about the practice of noncitizen immigrants voting
Historically, noncitizens
voted in local, state and federal elections in 40 states and federal
territories.
Currently, noncitizens vote
in seven jurisdictions in the United States, and another three towns
have passed local laws but await state enabling legislation to
implement. More than a dozen other cities are -- or recently
have -- considered restoring immigrant voting rights.
This website is
a central hub for information about and organizing among advocates of
immigrant voting rights. The
project was founded in 2003 by current co-directors
Ron
Hayduk and Michele Wucker.

"Universal
suffrage prolongs in the United States the effect of universal education:
for it stimulates all citizens throughout their lives to reflect on
problems outside the narrow circle of their private interests and
occupations: to read about public questions; to discuss public characters
and to hold themselves ready in some degree to give a rational account of
their political faith."
