Call me stupid if you like but when one mentions being able to vote I always asume one is talking about the election for President as Im sure a lot of others do too & as the OP didnt make themselves clear I for one am not offering an apology!
P.S Ian I tried to send you some Karma but seems my Karma has turned to butter too & needs spreading. IOU

Sometimes, I think it might be worth facing a ban from the moderators just so I can honestly comment on her questionable ancestry, her mother's apparent conjugal relationship with a simian, and that her son looks more like her father than her husband. But y'know... I do enjoy watching her implode every so often.

I would never urge anyone to break the law and as you can now see I did
not.
Perhaps those herein who "think" they know better might have the spirit
to apolozise and also to retract any reports made in error.
I expect many many herein are not aware that they may register to vote
upon receipt of a GC.

Lol I will never lose my kiwi accent either but do try to make myself understood by slowing down when I remember. I dont have a problem with coke its Pepsi that causes me grieve & thats a huge problem cos I dont like Coke

Non-citizens may NOT vote in "local" elections UNLESS there is a "local" statute or ordinance that permits such voting. ["Local" is meant as state or lower jurisdiction.]
It is true that there are SOME local jurisdictions that allow for limited voting. However, there are very few such jurisdictions.
When in doubt, an alien should NOT vote in ANY election.
p.s. -- I was the attorney on the only published voting decisions in the context of the immigration laws. Although the decision was quite narrow, the briefing covered a lot of area.
