San Francisco Will Allow Non-Citizens to Vote in Education Elections
Non-citizens can vote in San Franciscoâs Board of Education elections after the cityâs Department of Elections ruled to do away with citizenship requirements. Non-citizens seeking to vote in San Franciscoâs Board of Education elections must be at least 18 years old and residents of the city, and must also be parents, caregivers or legal guardians of children under 19 years old who reside in the city. School boards determine property tax rates. Illegal immigrants can obtain driver’s licenses, state-paid medical insurance, receive in-state college tuition, and may practice law in California.
