TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — A Canadian national has been charged by the Florida Attorney General’s Office after authorities said he illegally voted in seven general elections over two decades.

According to the Office of Attorney General James Uthmeier, Giorgio Dominique Mucelli registered to vote in Brevard County on April 9, 2004, after claiming he was a U.S. citizen.

Uthmeier said Mucelli voted in the general elections in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2020, 2022 and 2024.

According to Uthmeier, Mucelli proceeded to vote early in the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections and presented photo identification. At the time of voting, authorities said he falsely affirmed that he was a qualified elector.

In January 2026, the Brevard County Supervisor of Elections determined that Mucelli was ineligible to vote based on his lawful permanent resident status and information in the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. After being notified that he was ineligible, authorities said Mucelli contacted the Supervisor of Elections Office and claimed he had not falsely voted.

During an interview, authorities said Mucelli later admitted to voting in previous elections, lying to election officials and acknowledged that he was ineligible to vote because he was a lawful permanent resident. Investigators also documented his lawful permanent resident card and Canadian passport.

Mucelli was charged with one count of voting by a noncitizen elector, a third-degree felony, and one count of false affirmation, also a third-degree felony.

If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in the Florida Department of Corrections.
