BOSTON – The U.S. Attorney’s Office says a Canadian citizen who has been living in the United States for decades has been charged with voting illegally.
The 40-year-old accused faces one count of unlawful voting by an alien and one count of casting a ballot known to be fraudulent.
Prosecutors said in a news release that the man became a permanent resident in February 1987 and had been living in the town of Saugus, Mass., north of Boston.
They allege the man declared on official registration forms that he was a U.S. citizen and that he voted multiple federal elections.
If convicted, the accused could face between one and five years in prison and fines ranging from $100,000 to $250,000.
Online court records show he is scheduled to appear in court in June.
