That’s an average of roughly 2.3 cases per year since 1982.
In 2024 there was just one documented case of noncitizen voting. In 2023, there was also only one documented case of noncitizen voting. In 2022, there were two. That’s it.
Which is why both left-leaning and conservative organizations, including the Heritage Foundation, have consistently found rates of noncitizen voting to be near zero. It is virtually nonexistent—and a manufactured nonissue.
Over the last decade, Donald Trump and Republican leaders have doubled down on the conspiracy theory that large numbers of noncitizens are voting. They have used this fabricated threat to justify increasingly harsh voting restrictions...
Enter the SAVE America Act: a nationwide voter suppression system disguised as “election security.” It introduces new documentation requirements for a law that has existed for decades. The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 already explicitly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections.
On its surface, the bill claims to protect election integrity. In reality, it would fundamentally restructure how Americans register and vote, creating one of the most restrictive federal voting regimes in modern history.
....The consequences are easy to predict. Millions of Americans lack immediate access to certified birth certificates, valid passports, or updated records. Elderly citizens born at home, Native Americans born on reservations, women and trans people who changed their names, naturalized citizens awaiting replacement papers, low-income families unable to afford document fees, and disaster survivors who lost records would all face new obstacles.
This Will Hold - For more than a decade amid Republican bluster about widespread noncitizen voting, the Heritage Foundation has been investigating and documenting such cases. And according to its own dataset, from 1982 to 2025 there have been only 99 documented cases of noncitizens voting in U.S. elections....
