A proposed home rule petition would lower Boston’s voting age to 16 for city elections, if passed
Similar measures have garnered support in Brookline, Somerville, and Cambridge in recent years.
Two Boston city councilors are asking their fellow councilors to consider a home rule petition to allow 16- and 17-year-old residents to vote in municipal elections, should state lawmakers sign off on the proposal.

What is a Home Rule Petition?
In Massachusetts, cities have limited powers under state law. A Home Rule Petition is a request from a city for a new type of power from the state legislature—for example, the power to enact a new tax or regulation, or an exemption from an aspect of state law.If a proposed Home Rule Petition is passed locally, the city government sends the bill to its State Representatives and State Senators, who seek to pass it in the legislature as a state law that would only affect the one municipality.

Personally, I would use both the Spanish and English - Petición de Autonomía” (Home Rule Petition), as it appears to be particular to Massachusetts.

Gracias Claudia.
Peer comment(s):

agree Marcelo González : Useful references, Taña, as usual :-) I wonder if 'petición de autonomía local' might work, too. home rule = autonomía local / Either way, including the English in parenthesis may be helpful as well (as you've suggested in a note).

Thanks so much Marcelo. Absolutely, I would maintain both languages as it appears to be specific to one State in the USA, and perhaps unknown in others, even if the targeted audience is the USA. [Petición de autonomía is what I have and found].
