Let the voters decide.
On September 19th, 2024, four City Aldermen decided to change our form of government and allow noncitizens to vote in City elections. See the Charter Amendment Resolution.
This means that a noncitizen can also run for Mayor or City Council (new name of Aldermen), but we say that Frederick City voters should decide and not just four Aldermen.
WE CAN STOP NONCITIZEN VOTING!
If we collect 15,000 signatures of qualified Frederick City voters by October 28th, 2024, the City will be forced to place the question of noncitizen voting on the 2025 ballot for voters to decide. See the State of Maryland Statute for Charter Amendments and Petitions.
