Judicial Watch says official records obtained from the District of Columbia show that 578 noncitizens voted in the city’s June primary elections, a disclosure certain to intensify conservative alarm over election integrity. The finding comes from a city where officials openly permit noncitizens to participate in local elections.

That local policy is central to the controversy, but it does not settle the broader concern raised by the records. The June primaries also included voting for the city’s delegate to the House of Representatives, bringing a federal office into the same election.

Judicial Watch detailed the noncitizen voting records in an October 15 press release. The organization’s findings put firm numbers behind a debate that District officials have pushed into the election system through local law.

In 2023, the DC Council amended the District of Columbia Election Code of 1955 to permit all noncitizen residents to vote in local elections. The eligible group includes illegal aliens.

The registration breakdown was overwhelmingly tilted toward Democrats. Of the 578 noncitizens who voted, 510 were registered Democrats, while only four were registered Republicans.

Another 55 voters were registered under NPA, identified as National Progressives of America. Seven were registered under STG, identified as the Statehood Green Party, and two were registered as other.

The partisan imbalance is impossible to miss. Registered Democrats vastly outnumbered Republicans within the group, while the NPA and Statehood Green Party registrations added another 62 voters to the total.

Judicial Watch: 578 Noncitizens Voted in DC’s June 2026 Election

READ: https://t.co/MXPQoSglVI Judicial Watch announced today it received records from the District of Columbia Board of Elections revealing that 578 noncitizens voted in the Washington, DC, June 16, 2026, primary and special elections. — Judicial Watch ⚖️ (@JudicialWatch) October 15, 2026

The disclosure raises an immediate question about what could happen during the federal election in November. If 578 noncitizens participated in a primary or special election, critics want to know whether larger numbers could participate when federal offices are before voters.

The records described by Judicial Watch do not answer whether the District has guardrails capable of preventing noncitizens from voting in other federal elections. That unanswered question sits at the heart of the election integrity concerns surrounding the city’s policy.

The original commentary declared, “Every single noncitizen vote is a crime,” while also acknowledging that District officials legally allow noncitizen participation in local elections. The overlap with voting for the city’s House delegate is what gives the June primary records wider significance.

Washington voters are heavily Democratic, so the noncitizen ballots might not have changed the outcome. But a predictable partisan result does not make concerns about access to federal contests disappear.

Some primary and special elections are decided by only a few hundred or a few thousand votes. A total of 578 voters can therefore become consequential in a close contest, even if that possibility was not decisive in this particular election.

The commentary argues that Democrat run jurisdictions such as D.C. are encouraging election fraud by allowing noncitizens into the local voting system. Its central warning is that permitting local participation makes it difficult to ensure those same voters do not also participate in federal contests.

That argument is why the Judicial Watch investigation carries political weight beyond the raw total. The records do not merely show a policy on paper, but document hundreds of noncitizens who actually used the voting access District officials provided.

The numbers also sharpen the partisan stakes. With 510 registered Democrats, four registered Republicans, 55 NPA registrants, seven Statehood Green Party registrants, and two listed as other, the records reveal exactly who composed the group.

D.C. officials chose to open local elections to noncitizens through the 2023 amendment. Judicial Watch’s records now leave the nation’s capital facing a far more uncomfortable question about how securely local voting access is separated from elections involving federal office.
