Generally, you must be a United States citizen in order to register to vote in any governmental election in the country. A legal permanent resident (green card holder) is not eligible to vote, unless a particular municipality allows for it. A person must check with their local board of elections office for detailed information on his or her eligibility to vote.

From the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service:
"There are very few jurisdictions where a non-U.S. citizen may vote in a local election. You can obtain information regarding voting qualifications in local elections from your local voting authority. It is important to remember that even if you are allowed to vote in a local election, you are not eligible to vote in a federal election if you are not a U.S. citizen, nor in any other election that requires you to be a U.S. citizen."

Could a green card holder be deported for alleged animal abuse?
If convicted a US citizen can be put in jail for animal abuse, then it's highly likely that a green card holder can also be put in jail or deported, or both. When you are in the United States you are subject to its laws. Although the laws regarding animal abuse may vary from state to state. As a rule of thumb, I would tend to think that if there is any question at all you should probably steer clear of it. It's also the decent thing to do. A green card holder is a permanent US resident and has all the rights and privileges like a US citizen except the right to vote. He would pay a fine or go to jail but would not be deported. If the charge was a felony then YES you can be deported
