INDIANAPOLIS — A settlement has been reached in multiple federal lawsuits surrounding citizenship verification and preventing non-citizens from voting, including a lawsuit filed in the Indiana Federal Court.

According to a joint news release from the Indiana Attorney General’s office and the Indiana Secretary of State’s office, the lawsuit was settled in late November in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida.

Multiple states filed a lawsuit, including Indiana and Ohio, against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to “confirm the citizenship and immigration status of individuals in response to requests by state and local governments.” The agreement settles those lawsuits from multiple states.

“This landmark settlement provides Indiana with long-overdue tools to protect the integrity of our elections,” Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales said in the release. “Hoosiers deserve absolute confidence that every lawful vote counts and that our voter rolls are accurate and secure.”

Indiana filed its lawsuit to verify the citizenship of more than 550,000 state voters in April. According to previous reports [[link removed]], Todd Rokita, Indiana’s attorney general, and Morales accused the department of failing to confirm whether certain individuals were registered to vote in the state.

This comes after the two petitioned the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency to verify the citizenship of 585,774 residents in October 2024, something that they requested to be completed prior to the November 2024 general election.

“Because of Indiana’s leadership and persistence in bringing this lawsuit, the settlement now guarantees every state and territory in America… will have access to these modernized federal verification tools for the next 20 years,” the release said.

The release claims that preliminary results from the new U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services verification process “confirm that at least 165 identified non-citizens have registered to vote in Indiana.” The release also claims that “at least 21 noncitizens have cast ballots in recent elections.”

“From day one, many individuals dismissed our work as a ‘witch hunt’—but the facts speak for themselves: non-citizen voting is real here in our state, and even one illegal ballot undermines the trust we are told to have in our election processes and even the Republic itself,” Rokita said. “This settlement delivers the federal access we’re entitled to under law, allowing the Secretary of State to swiftly remove ineligible voters from the rolls and fortify our system against future risks. Indiana’s elections will be more transparent, fairer and more secure as a result.”
