Alabama Case Spotlights Reality of Noncitizens Voting in U.S. Elections...A case in Alabama has become an example some Republicans spotlight to show how, despite existing voting laws, some noncitizens have been able to participate in elections.The battle played out in Alabama over several years when Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen identified 3,251 individuals in 2023 who were registered to vote in Alabama and had been issued noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). At the time, Allen said he was repeatedly denied help from the Biden administration. He also noted at the time it was possible for some of the individuals to have become naturalized citizens who are eligible to vote, and said the Secretary of State’s Office would allow them to update their information and participate in the civil process.His efforts to clean up the voter rolls were blocked in court during the Biden administration, but under President Donald Trump, Allen was able to have 186 noncitizens who were registered to vote removed from the state’s voter file in January 2026. Allen partnered with the federal government to gain access to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, which is a program used to identify noncitizens registered to vote in different states. That program was also blocked by a federal judge in June.
