Can someone who immigrates to the US vote once they receive a Social Security Number?

I am unsure the condition that has to be met before an Immigrant can vote in elections.

Thanks!

You have to become a citizen before you can vote.

Permanent residents can vote in certain local elections.

True. You can check if your State is one of them. I'm sure you'll need a SSN, I had to indicate mine when I registered for absentee voting. That same month after submitting my information, I got a Summons for Jury Duty, man they're fast.

Do not vote in ANY election until you are a US Citizen unless you want some significant problems during your naturalization interviews... I mean really.. how can you differentiate whether you voted on what you are allowed to and not allowed to when everything is on the same ballot.. And they don't register you to vote on just local elections.. you are registered to vote in ALL elections.. and to do that, you must be a citizen. Misrepresenting yourself as a US Citizen is a big no no...

Don't jeopardize your chances at US Citizenship.. Wait to vote until you are a US Citizen...

Just don't do it...

Yeah...

If you were an illegal immigrant you would have nothing to worry about...and could vote in each and every election you wished using fake documents ...well it does not have to be fake...some states extend state IDs/drivers licenses to illegals. By the way have you heard about Bank of America giving credit cards to illegals? They do not even ask for a SSN. All you need is a bank account in 3 months' good standing.

Since you are a legal resident you should NOT vote in order not to risk deportation!!!!!!!!

Makes sense? Does not it? Not!!!!
