A federal judge has been asked to enjoin the City of New York and the New York City Board of Elections from registering non-citizens to vote and from counting their votes.

On Aug. 29, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed a complaint alleging Local Law 11, passed by the city council on Dec. 9, 2021, violates the civil rights of four American citizens registered to vote in the metropolis.
