NY A04185

Allows non-citizens lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States to vote in non-federal elections in New York, provided they meet age (18+) and residency requirements (30 days in state, county, city, or village).

Replaces the term "alien" with "non-citizen" throughout the State Constitution in Articles 2, 3, and 5 for consistency and clarity.

Maintains existing voter registration requirements, including completion at least 10 days before elections, and preserves ballot secrecy and signature identification provisions.

Applies voting rights to non-citizens only in non-federal elections, excluding federal elections for offices like U.S. President, Senate, and House of Representatives.

Requires the amendment to be referred to the first regular legislative session after the next general election and published for 3 months before taking effect, per constitutional amendment procedures.
