Virginia Just Found 6,303 Noncitizens Registered to Vote

Aug 11, 2024 | Vote Fraud

All data collected by the DMV that identifies noncitizens is shared with ELECT, which uses it to scrub existing voter rolls and remove noncitizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote. According to data from ELECT, between January 2022 and July 2024, records indicate we removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls.

Glenn Youngkin, “Executive Order: Comprehensive Election Security Protecting Legal Voters and Accurate County,” Commonwealth of Virginia, Office of the Governor, Number Thirty-Five, 2024.

Virginia is one of only three states to require individuals “provide their full 9-digit Social Security number” when registering to vote, according to Youngkin. But Youngkin notes that the current system isn’t perfect. “However, security procedures can only be as strong as the state and federal law which governs voting. Further strengthening of Virginia’s election security system will rely on strengthening state and federal law,” Youngkin wrote.
