Public records received by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch reveal 388 non-citizens voted in the 2024 general election.
The documents were obtained in response to a FOIA request for: Public records identifying the number of non-citizens who voted in the November 2024 General Election; including, information about the wards in which they are located, their party affiliation, and the designators for the ballots they received.
Judicial Watch reported:
Judicial Watch announced today it received a spreadsheet from the District of Columbia Board of Elections revealing that 388 noncitizens voted in DC’s November 2024 general election.
While federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, states and localities may allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. In 2023, the DC Council amended the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 to allow all noncitizen residents, including illegal aliens, to vote in its local elections.
More than 230 of the noncitizens who voted are registered Democrats, the list shows. Less than 20 are registered Republicans. The remainder did not register with a party or registered with a third party. The list does not detail whether the voters are illegal aliens nor whether the noncitizen voters were restricted, as law requires, to voting for only local DC offices.
“It is an outrage and insult to every American citizen, and may be a violation of federal law, that DC allowed 388 foreign nationals to vote in the 2024 general election,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Congress can and should end this practice immediately.”

Last year Judicial Watch obtained documents explaining to noncitizens and illegal aliens how they can register to vote in local DC elections.
A federal judge previously upheld a Washington DC law that allows noncitizens – including illegal aliens – to vote in municipal elections.
US District Judge for the District of Columbia Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee tossed a lawsuit filed by a conservative group challenging the Local Resident Voting Rights Act, passed by the DC Council in October 2022.
The law not only allows non-citizens and illegals to vote, it also permits noncitizens to run for office!
