The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) recently acknowledged a significant error in registering at least 306 non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections. This revelation came to light on Friday, with officials attributing the wrongful registrations to a program that automatically enrolled individuals who obtained a driver's license or state ID since 2021.
Despite the lapse, state authorities are actively working to rectify the situation before Election Day, anticipating the discovery of more improper registrations. Notably, Oregon has permitted non-citizens to acquire driver's licenses since 2019, with only two of the identified 306 individuals having cast ballots in an election post-2021.
