Voting is open to all as long as you vote democrat.

Why isn't this a surprise to anyone that's actually living in the real world? Whether it's San Francisco or most any other city in California, and other dominated state by socialsit democrats , the conventional wisdom is to do what is it takes of get and keep power.

Rule and laws are of no use when progressive socialists are on the move for control. Sanctuary cities that harbor criminal illegal aliens are okay as long as the criminals vote democrat.

Remember the founding principle to get and keep power for liberal democrats is ''by any means necessary''.

One of the statement of the local authority on who can vote is good. The courts must determine if a person is mentally ill they can't vote. How would  the courts do that? Wouldn't that eliminate just about everyone in California as they are nearly all socialsit democrats?

Citizenship Is No Longer Required to Vote in San Francisco School Board Elections

Noncitizens can vote in San Francisco’s Board of Education elections after the city’s Department of Elections ruled Monday to do away with citizenship requirements.

Noncitizens seeking to vote in San Francisco’s Board of Education elections must be at least 18 years old and residents of the city, CBS SF Bay Area reported Monday. They must also be parents, caregivers, or legal guardians of children under 19 years old who reside in the city.

Those serving time for a felony conviction, as well as those persons on parole for a felony, cannot vote in the city’s Board of Education elections. Those deemed by the court to be mentally incompetent are also barred from voting in the elections.

The new requirement comes after San Francisco voters passed local Proposition N, allowing noncitizens to vote in education elections. The proposal passed 54 percent to 46 percent and will continue taking effect until 2022, wherein the Board of Supervisors will have to decide whether to preserve or abandon the law.

Up until the 1920s, a number of states, cities, and municipalities allowed noncitizens to vote in elections as long as they were residents of that city, state, or municipality. San Francisco is the first California city to allow noncitizens to vote in its Board of Education elections.

Other cities also allow noncitizens to vote in school board elections. Cambridge, Massachusetts, along with Chicago extend the privilege to noncitizens. A number of Maryland municipalities also do so.

Voters will cast their ballots in San Francisco’s Board of Education elections on Oct. 22.

Illegal immigrants can obtain driver’s licenses, qualify for state-paid medical insurance, and receive in-state college tuition. They can also practice law, according to a 2015 bill signed by Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown.
