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
@B4LHWPY6 days6D
They shouldn't be able to vote instantly upon arrival maybe if they have a year or so then it would be plausable.
@B44R32M4wks4W
Any foreigners defined as legal citizens should have the right to vote, provided they've spent enough time here

Only if they’re educated, not just voting to vote
