Judicial Watch: 388 Noncitizens Voted in DC’s November Election
(Washington, DC) – 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.

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.

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.
The noncitizen voter information was produced in response to a Judicial Watch December 2, 2024, DC Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for:
