The Supreme Court says that the new law is correct. The new law removes voting rights from citizens of countries not belonging to the European Union.
The Kohtla-Järve city council wanted the Supreme Court to overturn the new law. They said it is not fair. More than half of the city's residents can no longer vote.
The Supreme Court rejected the application. The court said the new law is not against the constitution. The constitution allows such changes.
The Supreme Court says that Estonia does not have to grant voting rights to non-citizens. Voting rights are a political right and are granted to Estonian citizens.
