If they are citizens then should be allowed to vote no matter how long they’ve been here for. If they pay taxes and they are citizens
I am unsure. My instinct is all tax payers should vote. But also I can see the risk of destabilization by mass population shift
@9BPD7B32yrs2Y
I don't have enough information, but tend towards yes
@92DD9S33yrs3Y
If they live here, of course. However, if they are a visitor rather than a resident they should not.
