Before you vote – make sure you are eligible! If you vote in an election without permission or claim to be a U.S. citizen to vote, you’re breaking federal law and could face fines or jail time. It might also prevent you from becoming a legal resident and could lead to deportation. Even if you were mistakenly registered to vote, like when renewing your driver’s license, you can’t legally vote unless you meet the necessary requirements. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, it is important to call us and speak to one of our immigration lawyers at 704.344.0004.
