Summary

The bill lets state citizens who work in a municipality and have paid a user or service fee to that city cast ballots in its municipal elections, even though they reside elsewhere. It applies only to at‑large offices and city‑wide questions, not to ward‑specific seats. The change is intended to give non‑resident taxpayers a voice in local decisions that affect them.
