A review of Iowa’s voter rolls shows 35 people who are not U.S. citizens were among more than 1.6 million Iowa voters who cast ballots in the 2024 general election, despite being ineligible to vote. Iowa’s top election official says that his office also identified 277 noncitizens who were registered to vote, a small percentage of the nearly 2.3 million registered voters.
Voting by people who are not U.S. citizens is illegal in federal elections. There is no evidence that it is occurring in large numbers.
State reviews, like Iowa’s, show it is rare for noncitizens to register to vote and even rarer that they actually cast a ballot.
