A green card requires people to live in a state for a certain period of time before voting.?
Answer:
Voting is considered one of the most important privileges of democracy in the US, as it is the right to participate in choosing elected officials.
Permanent resident can vote only in local and state elections that do NOT require you to be a US citizen.
Never vote in national, state or local elections that require voters to be a US citizen, when you are not. There are criminal penalties for voting in such cases. You can be deported from the US, if you vote in such elections and may loose your green card.

Regarding voting State and Local voting, you have to find out in your own State as each State and local counties have different requirements.
Just like every other American over 18, you have the right to vote. The only difference between you and a naturalized citizen is that you can only vote in local and state elections that don't require you to be a U.S. citizen. Unfortunately, green card holders are prohibited from voting in federal elections.
If you have a green card you CANNOT vote, even if you have had a green card for 30 years. You are required to become a citizen first. If you have a green card and register to vote you will be deported.
No, you can not vote on a green card. That only gives you residency. You have to be a united states citizen to vote.
In some small local elections residents may be able to vote in some places. However, in federal and state elections you have to be a citizen of the United States, not a resident.
.That no longer applies anyone can vote and drive a car and get free health care and soon social security,welfare section 8 and win the lottery.America is very sick.
Citizens vote......don't try it with a green card. It's a felony.
No, only US citizens can vote and if you vote as a resident ot other, knowingly, you can be deported. most residents and others are barred from receiving any public benefits other than emergency care. permanent residents and citizens can get social security benefits for retirement, but not all benefits until they have been here after 5 years.
however, there are residency rules (living there for a certain time) for each state in order for someone to be able to vote there (US citizens only)
Not sure. My dad has a green card (we're british citizens living in Connecticut, USA) and he can't vote I don't think.
The only way people can vote in the US is to be a citizen. Green Card does not give you the right to vote anywhere here.
You can't vote because you're not a citizen.
