Summary

83% Informative

Since 1924 , it has been a crime in all 50 states for a noncitizen to vote in a federal or state election.

U.S. citizens are the only people permitted by federal law to vote.

Some states allow undocumented people to obtain driver’s licenses or state IDs to prevent them from actually voting.

All states except for North Dakota require a voter to be registered before they’re allowed to vote.

Voters in Arizona who do not or cannot provide proof of citizenship at registration go on a list that limits the elections they can vote in and aren’t given full voting rights until the state can verify their citizenship.

In North Dakota , a valid ID is still required at the polls.

In Pennsylvania , people unlawfully in the U.S. are not permitted to have state IDs.

Wisconsin allows voters or appointed election inspectors to challenge another person’s attempt to vote if the challenger has cause to believe the other voter is not a citizen or doesn’t meet the other criteria to legally vote.
