Only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in the upcoming fall election for president and other top offices. While the issue of noncitizens potentially registering or voting has gained attention, cases of noncitizens actually voting are rare.
Republicans have expressed concerns about noncitizen voting, particularly in light of increased immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. To address this, GOP officials in various states have initiated voter roll reviews, issued executive orders, and proposed constitutional amendments to prevent noncitizen voting. However, some Democrats argue that these measures could create obstacles for legal voters and may exaggerate the extent of noncitizen voting.
