An Act providing for legal voting rights in municipal elections for non-citizen residents of the city of Somerville

This bill allows non-citizen residents of Somerville who meet all other voter eligibility requirements (like residency) to register and vote in local elections and ballot questions. It creates a separate voter registration list managed by Somerville's election board, requiring a special form and a sworn declaration of residency. Non-citizens voting under this law can only participate in city-level elections (e.g., mayor, city council, local ballot measures), not state or federal elections. The city must cover costs for the special registration forms and separate ballots if local questions appear on state election ballots, while maintaining clear separation from state voter lists.
