Theological note: The issue touches civic membership, the due place of citizenship in self-government, and stewardship of the franchise. Scripture gives weight to righteous order in community and to the integrity of public responsibility, but it does not directly settle the question of local noncitizen voting. The matter is best treated as a prudential question of civic order rather than a direct moral verdict.
