"I wouldn't fill it out," the worker said. "You gotta be a citizen to fill it out."

"We can't stop you from submitting the application," he added, warning that people have had "legal situations" in which non-citizens attempted to register.

When the reporter responded that he really wanted to register, the worker again said it was up to him if he wanted to fill out an application.

"That's not my job to report anyone," he said. "My job is just to collect the application and submit it to the department."

In New York, it is illegal for non-citizens to register to vote. A previous measure that aimed to allow non-citizens to vote in local municipal elections in New York City was ruled last year to be unconstitutional.
