Non-citizen voting prosecutions in US

Entities: Giorgio Dominique Mucelli · Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) · James Uthmeier

Overview

In early July 2026, Australian permanent‑resident Denise Migliore was charged with illegally voting in U.S. elections, marking the first publicly reported case of a non‑citizen permanent resident facing criminal prosecution for voting.

Later that month, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced charges against 66‑year‑old Canadian permanent‑resident Giorgio Dominique Mucelli. Mucelli was accused of voting in seven Florida general elections between 2004 and 2024 after falsely affirming U.S. citizenship on his voter registration. He faces two third‑degree felony counts that could carry up to ten years in prison.

These two incidents illustrate a broader enforcement trend in the United States, where state authorities are increasingly pursuing legal action against non‑citizen permanent residents who violate voting eligibility rules.
