The purpose of the resolution is to grant undocumented immigrants residing in the state the ability to vote in municipal and state elections, thereby expanding the democratic process to include a wider segment of the population who are affected by local and state policies and decisions. Introduced by Representative Candelaria J. of the 95th District, the resolution has been referred to the Committee on Government Administration and Elections.
