Who is qualified to vote? <br />Are undocumented allowed to vote? Or is it meant for legal residents only? <br />2. How long should noncitizens live in the City of Santa Ana before being allowed to vote? <br />Is a weekend long enough? 1 year? 3 years? How can this be enforced? <br />3. Can a noncitizen without proper identification, or with an address outside of the City vote? <br />If not, how can we future -proof this issue? (And keep people without ID from voting) <br />4. What is the consequence of fraud for both the candidate and the voter? <br />Can they be banned, for a lifetime, from the City's public jobs and from voting? How about prison? <br />5. Can an address with 3 or more voting noncitizen requests trigger an investigation by the Rental Registry <br />Program? <br />Eg, 3+ different last names in the same address. Can the Rental Housing Board withhold those votes if the <br />situation is not clear? (eg, the rental house is not registered) <br />6. Have any of you, Council Members and Mayor, ever denied representing a neighbor, only because of their <br />migratory status, or because they are not taxpayers? <br />If not, why do we need them to vote? <br />If yes, please RESIGN IMMEDIATELY. <br />
