This is a response to an e-mail I had sent regarding illegal immigrants voting in our elections. According to this agency I.D. is required to register to vote. Haven't they heard that illegals steal their I.D. so they can get a license?

Thank you for contacting the Secretary of State with your concern about voter fraud.

Non-citizen voting makes up only a small part of election fraud cases investigated by the Secretary of State’s office. As you may be aware, the identification requirements enacted as part of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) in 2006 have made it more difficult for non-citizens to attempt to register to vote. Under HAVA, people who register to vote must now provide a California Driver’s License or California Identification Card number or partial social security number on their voter registration form. These identifiers are matched against California Department of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration databases for authenticity to ensure that each applicant is eligible to register.

Thank you for contacting the Secretary of State. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have questions on this or another matter related to the Secretary of State's office please contact Legislative and Constituent Affairs (916) 653-6774.

Sincerely,

Legislative and Constituent Affairs
Secretary of State
