WASHINGTON D.C. - More than 500 noncitizens are registered to vote in Tuesday's Washington, D.C., Council elections.
As of May 29, which is the latest available count, 523 noncitizen Washington, D.C., residents are registered to vote, Sarah Graham, a spokeswoman for the District of Columbia Board of Elections (DCBOE), told Fox News Digital.
That includes 310 registered Democrats, 28 Republicans, 16 with the D.C. Statehood Green Party, and 169 unaffiliated noncitizen voters who are registered with no party, Graham said.

About 13 of the closures were in the San Diego area, 24 were in the Los Angeles area and 11 were in northern California. Rubio's said it plans to continue to operate 86 restaurants in California, Arizona and Nevada.
The move to close locations in California, while keeping spots open in nearby states, is "further evidence that fast casual restaurants like Rubio’s are struggling in California’s high-cost business environment," Cato Institute policy analyst Marc Joffe told FOX Business. Click here to read more.
