[RP TownTalk] Meeting Agenda: March 8 Legislative Committee Meeting (6:30 p.m.)

[Bruce Wernek]

All

I've attached the Proposed Legislation for "Voting Expansion" because it wasn't available on the RP website when I checked.  

In summary, the proposed legislation removes the requirement of being a US citizen to vote in Riverdale Park (RP).  In addition, a non citizen will be able to vote if they are a resident of RP for 30 days.  Not sure how the Town is going to determine if a non citizen has lived here for 30 days.   

I urge all of you to review the attachment carefully and contact your Council person or Mayor as you see fit.  Attending the meeting and voicing your opinion won't hurt either.  This is a major, I repeat major change to RP's voting law.

Bruce
