After adopting new laws allowing foreign nationals to vote in local elections, new records reveal the city of Washington, D.C. added 583 citizens of foreign nations to their voter rolls, and voters do not need to show identification to vote.
Watchdogs warn that allowing foreign nationals to vote could result in foreign nationals voting for president and Congress, even if they are flagged to receive ballots with only local races.
The non-partisan public interest law firm Judicial Watch reports they “received the documents in response to a May 14, 2024, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records regarding the number of noncitizens registered to vote in Washington, DC, under the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act.”
“The fact that over 500 foreign nationals can vote in local elections in Washington, DC, is a national scandal and an insult to every America citizen,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “Congress can and must stop this attack on the voting rights of citizens.”
“In 2022 the DC Council amended the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 ‘to expand the definition of the term qualified elector for the purpose of local elections to include otherwise eligible non-citizen residents,'” Judicial Watch reports.
“The act went into effect in 2023 and allows noncitizens to vote in local elections for positions including mayor, attorney general, city council member, State Board of Education member or Advisory Neighborhood Commission member. Noncitizens can also vote on local referendums, ballot initiatives and recalls,” Judicial Watch added.
According to the D.C. voter registration records turned over to Judicial Watch, on June 13, 2024, the makeup of registered voters in DC was:
Total Voters: 457,302
US Citizens: 456,719
Foreign Nationals: 583
Democrats: 353,048
Republican: 23,482
No Party Affiliation: 73,760
Other: 7,012
Judicial Watch also reports their records “include a Board of Elections meeting transcript that explains that noncitizens are not required to have an ID to vote.”
If a voter, including a foreign national” does not have proof of residence when they register to vote, or vote for the first time, they can still vote by “Special Ballot.”
