The Los Angeles City Council votes unanimously to remove a proposed measure that would allow noncitizens to vote in city and Los Angeles Unified School District elections from the November ballot and returns the draft to the Rules Committee for further study.Council members express unresolved questions about which noncitizen groups would qualify, how Los Angeles County would administer registration and ballots, and whether voter records could be accessed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or otherwise exposed.Hugo Soto-Martínez, who proposed the
City Charter amendment, acknowledges insufficient outreach and concerns from Black community leaders and says he will continue to press the issue in a future election.
