多米尼加裔美国人推动投票改变
February 18, 2022
New York’s first Latino Ydanis Rodriguez, the transportation commissioner, is pushing to expand voting to more than 800,000 residents in New York City. As an NYC Council member, Rodríguez was the main sponsor of a piece of legislation that became law last month. The law allows permanent residents, or green card holders, to vote in city elections. It also allowed New Yorkers who are legally authorized to work in the U.S. and young immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, to vote in municipal elections. The city plans to have eligible New Yorkers vote in the 2023 municipal election. The Board of Elections will plan the voter registration rules and provisions that would create separate ballots for municipal elections.
