This doesn’t say if he’s actually allowed to be mayor or not. I would think if you can’t vote you can’t be mayor? I guess they let dogs do it sometimes though so, I don’t know.
You're correct. In the linked Wichita Eagle article it says
BTW there's a lot to shake your head at in that article. The stupidity and lack of education of not just this guy but apparently the whole town. They didn't know he wasn't allowed to vote.
