A conservative group will not appeal a court ruling that allows noncitizens to vote in San Francisco and Oakland school board elections.

Noncitizen parents of school-age children will once again be able to vote in San Francisco's school board elections after a conservative group that challenged the practice said it won't take the fight to the state Supreme Court. Noncitizen parents cast votes in four school board elections after San Francisco voters in 2016 approved Proposition N, which allowed them to vote in those races but not in state or federal contests. But in 2022, a conservative legal group dubbed the U.S.

When Proposition N was introduced, proponents argued that allowing noncitizen parents of schoolchildren to vote in school board elections could increase parental involvement and, as a result, improve educational achievement, according to court records.
