A San Francisco appellate hearing is underway in a case surrounding whether or not undocumented immigrants should be allowed to vote in school board elections. Immigrant rights advocates were there to show support.

The hearing Thursday is expected to finish within the day, and a ruling could come anywhere from within the coming days to months or possibly even a year.

Meanwhile, opponents of immigrant voting argue the right to vote is reserved for citizens and is protected by the federal and state constitutions.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.
