Portland school board says city’s voters should be asked to extend voting rights to non-citizens

The Portland Board of Education voted 4-3 to endorse a resolution urging the City Council to schedule a referendum asking city residents to extend voting rights to non-citizens who are here legally, such as asylum seekers and refugees.

“This is a resolution about our values as a city,” said resident Marpheen Chann.
