I think non-USCs can vote in some local elections. Shoot me down if I am wrong people. :)

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

"Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

Voting

One of the most important privileges of democracy in the United States of America is the right to participate in choosing elected officials through voting. As a Permanent Resident you can only vote in local and state elections that do not require you to be a US citizen. It is very important that you do not vote in national, state or local elections that require a voter to be a US citizen when you are not a US citizen. There are criminal penalties for voting when you are not a US citizen and it is a requirement for voting. You can be removed (deported) from the US if you vote in elections limited to US citizens."

He can only apply for citizenship 3 years after he gets his conditional green card and then he can vote in national elections. Local & state elections are allowed once you are a permanent resident.

You can vote for local elections but not national elections....

You need to be a permanent resident to be able to vote at local elections.

You can t vote under an adjustment of status...
