I vote no, but many say yes.

No, but make sure that everyone who is a citizen is afforded that right WITHOUT interference.
I am not so sure that your side is as committed to that.
I say absolutely not. Noncitizens do not have the blood sweat and tears invested in this country that the citizens have. Some of them come here with the aim of changing this country to meet their needs along the lines of customs and religions. As someone whose ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War to make this country free of forced religions and customs, it really galls me that some cities are allowing noncitizens to help make decisions that only people with an investment in this country should be able to make. I'm not including foreign billionaire investors in with citizens either.
"As of March 2020, 12 municipalities in the U.S.—11 in Maryland and one in California—allowed noncitizens to vote in some or all local elections. No states allowed noncitizens to vote in statewide elections. Federal law stated that noncitizens may not vote in federal elections but did not specify whether they could in state or local elections.
Whether noncitizens should be allowed to vote is a subject of debate.
Some arguments concern whether to enfranchise noncitizens living in the country legally (such as permanent residents or those with temporary visas), while others include noncitizens in the country without legal permission."

"Who Can Vote Today?
Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution
As a result of many battles, laws and amendments, modern day voting is a much simpler matter. To vote in a presidential election today, you must be 18 years old and a United States citizen. Each state has its own requirements.
Article I, Section 4 of the Constitution provides that "Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations" governing elections. Under that provision of Article I, a number of unfair voting practices have been removed, although many Americans remain vigilant about equitable access to the ballot."
Repeating:
"No states allowed noncitizens to vote in statewide elections. Federal law stated that non-citizens may not vote in federal elections but did not specify whether they could in state or local elections."
I guess the question is, should states be able to allow non-citizens to vote?
Absolutely not. The erosion of citizenship has gone far enough. Illegal aliens should be deported. Otherwise, they will not stop coming until they swamp our country and destroy it.
I echo the words from James. But with a HELL NO.
Unless they are going to also pay on our school taxes & everything else we have to pay...then No.
Rights & responsibilities go hand in hand

Should prison inmates be allowed to vote in elections?Criminals in jail are there because they choose to operate outside the limitations that society has designed in law. Is it right that we give those same criminals a say in how those rules are made and how society is run?

Do you think people should have to display an understanding of politics before being allowed to voteI don't mean an in-depth understanding, just a basic one of how government works and what each party/candidate stands for.

Should women have the right to vote?Am working on my first political hub and gathering information. I would like to hear both sides of the opinionated coin about whether or not women should have the right to vote or if only men should vote and speak for their house. This ties a bit into religion...

Winston Churchill said "the greatest argument against democracy is a short conversation with the average voter." Should voters be tested on their knowledge of issues before being allowed to vote and be able to demonstrate a basic knowledge of the facts involved?I am not proposing it...

Collectively younger Americans probably should be barred from voting , not out of an age issue itself , but merely because of social - cultural maturity . Although our overall sense of education should be "better " than...
