Frederick becomes the largest municipality in Maryland to approve non-citizen voting

The City of Frederick has become the largest municipality in Maryland to approve non-citizen voting in local elections. Late Thursday night, the Board of Aldermen voted 4-1 to grant green card holders and undocumented citizens the right to vote locally. The only dissenting vote was that of Alderman Kelly Russell. Under the new changes non-citizen voters would still have to prove that they reside in Frederick. Convicted felons would be ineligible to vote under the legislation.
