    Yep the comments on that article are garbage for sure. Here in the EU it is at least pretty common that non citizens can vote in local elections, at the very least citizens of other EU countries. And I don’t really see a reason third country immigrants shouldn’t also be allowed in these elections. Citizenship is pretty arbitrary, access to democratic institutions really shouldn’t be arbitrary, especially if these institutions are very important for the people who can’t vote for them.
