More than 5,000 Utah voters need to provide proof of citizenship under new state law
Out of Utah’s more than 2 million registered voters, a tiny fraction of a percent — 27 people — were confirmed to be noncitizens, state election officials announced on Wednesday while sharing the results of a more than yearlong “comprehensive citizenship review” of Utah’s voter rolls.
Those 27 — including one that was found and reported during a preliminary review in January — have been removed from the state’s voter rolls, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson told reporters during a news conference at the Utah Capitol in Salt Lake City.
Her office also found 25 registered voters who are “probable noncitizens,” she said. They’ll be given 30 days to provide proof of citizenship or else be removed from the state’s voter rolls by their county clerks.
While the “goal is none,” she said, the review’s results show Utah “aligns pretty well with what other states who have taken this task on have found.”
