That is misleading. Yes you can get a SSAN if you have a work visa, but your records will be flagged to indicate that you are not a citizen to prevent you from registering to vote.
When you vote, you will notice that the election officer will look you up in a poll book. If you are in the poll book, your voting eligibility has already been established. This is why if you are not in the poll book, you will be issued a provisional ballot which will only be counted after your eligibility has been verified.
The eligibility is verified before election day.
