Two Ukrainian women, Svitlana and Yelyzaveta Demydenko, face federal charges for illegally voting in the 2024 election despite being non-citizens. They registered using a system requiring citizenship attestation and were released on bond.
An Iraqi national allegedly voted illegally in New York’s 2020 election and fled the United States.
A Dominican Republic citizen and a Guatemalan woman (Angelica Francisco) pleaded guilty to identity theft and illegal voting, with Francisco using a stolen identity to vote and obtain a U.S. passport.
A 19-year-old Chinese national was charged with perjury and voter fraud for registering with a university ID and voting in the 2024 election, prompting federal scrutiny into potential foreign interference. A 42-year-old undocumented immigrant pleaded guilty to stealing a U.S. citizen’s identity to vote in multiple elections and fraudulently obtain a passport.
These incidents have fueled calls for stricter voter ID laws, citizenship verification and enhanced election security measures to prevent non-citizen voting.

Two Ukrainian women residing in Florida are facing federal charges for allegedly voting in the 2024 presidential election despite not being U.S. citizens at the time. Svitlana Demydenko, 53, and her daughter, Yelyzaveta Demydenko, 22, appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach after investigators alleged they illegally cast ballots during early voting in Palm Beach County on Oct. 31, 2024. According to court documents, the Demydenkos entered the U.S. in April 2021 on non-immigrant visas, Svitlana on a K-1 fiancé visa, and became lawful permanent residents in July 2023. Prosecutors alleged that both women registered to vote in August 2024 using a system that requires individuals to certify their U.S. citizenship, a legal requirement they did not meet. But despite their non-citizen status, both women cast ballots in the October 2024 presidential election. During an interview with law enforcement in April, Yelyzaveta reportedly admitted to registering to vote online and accompanying her mother and stepfather to a Boynton Beach library to vote and "make a difference." Svitlana claimed in the criminal complaint that she was unaware that she was ineligible to vote. In turn, U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O'Byrne for the Southern District of Florida, Acting Special Agent in Charge Jose R. Figueroa of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Miami and Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Commissioner Mark Glass announced that the two women are facing federal charges for voting in the 2024 U.S. election. The two have made their initial court appearance in West Palm Beach and were released on $25,000 bonds. Their arraignment is scheduled for May 20. If convicted, the Demydenkos could face fines, deportation and potential prison time of up to five years.

The case of the Demydenkos is not an isolated one. Federal prosecutors revealed that Akeel Abdul Jamiel, a 45-year-old Iraqi national, allegedly voted illegally in the 2020 presidential election in Saratoga County, New York. Court documents show that Jamiel, who is not a U.S. citizen, knowingly cast a ballot. He is no longer in the country and has not been apprehended. In Michigan, statements from the Michigan Secretary of State's office disclosed that a Chinese national was accused of unlawfully registering and voting in the 2024 general election. Additionally, Carlos Abreu (from the Dominican Republic) and Angelica Maria Francisco (from Guatemala) pleaded guilty to identity theft and illegally voting in U.S. elections. Francisco, a resident of Russellville, Alabama, assumed the identity of a U.S. citizen as early as 2011. Using this fraudulent identity, she obtained an American passport that same year, which she later used for international travel to her native Guatemala in 2012, 2015 and 2018.

She registered to vote in Alabama under the stolen identity in 2016, casting ballots in both the primary and general elections that year, as well as in the 2020 election cycle. In 2021, she successfully renewed her U.S. passport using the same false information and traveled internationally again in 2022. These cases have intensified demands for stricter voter ID laws, citizenship verification and enhanced election monitoring. Read more stories like this at VoteFraud.news.
