California acknowledges that it does not track whether noncitizens are removed from voter registration lists, and it says it lacks a formal policy for investigating reported illegal voting. The disclosures come in connection with claims about how voter-roll maintenance is handled and what procedures exist when potential noncitizen voting is raised.
According to outlets describing the development, California’s position is that it cannot quantify the number of noncitizens removed from its voter rolls. The reporting also indicates that the state does not outline a structured, established approach for investigating allegations of illegal voting when they are reported. The articles focus on what the state says it can and cannot do, rather than providing details on any specific enforcement actions or findings in particular cases.
