Michigan officials have charged a non-U.S. citizen Chinese student for casting an illegal vote at an early voting site in Ann Arbor on Oct. 27.

“Only U.S. citizens can register and vote in our elections. It is illegal to lie on any registration forms or voting applications about one’s citizenship status. Doing so is a felony,” the offices of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit jointly stated on Oct. 30.
