...in a growing number of states, local governments are free to enact ordinances permitting nonresidents to vote in some elections such as bond and tax elections ...This law has been invoked by resort towns and villages in Colorado such as the Town of Mountain Village near Telluride in the southern part of the state to give owners of real property the right to vote provided they have held at least a 50% ownership interest (fee title) in the property for a specified period of time.
