Santa Ana is home to the largest share of noncitizen residents in Orange County. However, these residents remain unable to make their voices heard at the ballot box despite comprising core parts of the local community. We are calling on the Santa Ana City Council to end the political exclusion of noncitizens and expand local voting rights in city elections to the many noncitizen residents of Santa Ana.

Nearly one out of every four residents living in the city of Santa Ana are noncitizen residents. Out of the city of Santa Ana’s 31,611 Asian adult residents, 5,646 (17.86%) are noncitizens. 64,022 (37.02%) of the City’s 172,962 Hispanic adult residents are noncitizens. Yet, this large share of the community is unable to vote for their own representatives or for policies that affect them despite their lives being immediately impacted by municipal government.

Sign this petition to let the Santa Ana City Council know that it's time to expand the right to vote to noncitizen community members living in this city!
