Can't wait to get out of here and get into West Virginia...or at least Garrett county, FAR from Baltimore.

I think the citizen requirement is only for federal (and perhaps state) elections. Technically local municipalities can determine their own eligibility for their own elections.

Yes, whether we like it or not. I would like to see if there any requirements to vote.

The key here is "local" elections. I don't think the Constitution has anything to say about that.
