81% Informative

Donald Trump and his Republican allies claim Democrats are trying to get illegal immigrants to vote.

It is illegal for a non-US citizen to vote in a national election, but studies suggest this is very rare.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections.

118 paid-for ads posted on Facebook and Instagram since 1 September by Republican candidates or by Republican political groups.

One ad invites users to participate in a poll with the question: "Should illegal immigrants be allowed to vote?" The ads we identified were shown between 7.8 and 9 million times on the platforms.
