The Government recently published its proposal on settled status citizens here www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-government-publishes-proposals-on-rights-of-eu-citizens

The UK does not permit citizens of other EU countries to vote in its national elections, with the exception of Irish and qualifying Commonwealth citizens resident in the UK. The UK looks forward to discussing the matter of voting rights for EU citizens, at negotiations with the EU.
