WASHINGTON — A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Thursday against the District of Columbia Board of Elections that sought to invalidate a law giving noncitizens a right to vote in local elections.

The Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act would allow anyone who is a resident of the District of Columbia to vote, even if they are illegal aliens.

The act also permits noncitizen residents to run for D.C. government positions and to serve on the District’s Board of Elections.

The law prompted opposition in Congress but not enough to override it.
