[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can Maryland and Virginia residents also vote in DC elections?[/quote]No.[/quote] If non-citizens can them why not non-residents? For example, if you’re a suburban commuter it’s basically the same as being an “undocumented non-resident”. Since they also pay a lot of taxes in DC it seems only fair. [/quote] Whether you pay taxes or the amount of tax you pay is not what qualifies you to vote -- there are no income restrictions for voting. Someone who lives in DC, regardless of immigration status, is part of the DC community in ways that Maryland and Virginia residents are not.[/quote]
