Judicial Watch announced today that it received records showing that as of June 583 foreign nationals are registered to vote in Washington, DC. The records from the Board of Elections also confirm that noncitizens can be election workers.
Judicial Watch received the documents in response to a May 14, 2024, Freedom of Information Act request for records regarding the number of noncitizens registered to vote in Washington, DC, under the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act.
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." 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.

"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.
In May 2024, Judicial Watch received records from the District of Columbia, explaining to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how they can register to vote in local elections.
