CENTREVILLE — A Three Rivers woman was one of six people charged across the state for an alleged crime relating to the November 2024 election.

On Thursday, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office announced they charged 26-year-old Alondra Harker with one count of election law – fraudulent registration in St. Joseph County 3B District Court. The charge is a misdemeanor that could carry up to 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.

According to the Attorney General, Harker is a “limited-term alien resident,” though not an American citizen, and was therefore ineligible to vote in any state and federal elections. It is alleged by the Attorney General she registered and voted in-person in the November 2024 general election in Three Rivers.

Harker was arraigned on July 7, and will next appear in court on Sept. 10 for a pretrial conference at 3B District Court in Centreville. Her voter registration has been cancelled.

Harker was one of six people – five of them, including Harker, non-citizens – that had charges announced Thursday by the AG’s office stemming from election-related offenses with the November 2024 election.

Throughout 2025, according to the AG’s office, 16 cases of suspected non-citizen voting in the November 2024 election have been referred to the office. In 2026, a total of 22 cases statewide have been referred relating to non-citizen voting from 2009 to 2025, according to the AG’s office. Of all of those cases, six have resulted in criminal charges, 10 have been closed without charges, and 22 remain under review.

No other St. Joseph County residents have been publicly charged with offenses related to the November 2024 election.

“In my office, we’ve always taken election crimes seriously, and prosecute attacks on our voting systems to the fullest extent of the law,” Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement. “We’re upholding election integrity by investigating all claims of non-citizen voters, as rare as they are, and holding bad actors accountable when they refuse to abide by the laws that keep our elections safe and secure. These charges reflect the severity of the allegations, the sanctity of our democracy, and the tremendous consequences of voting illegally— whether that’s done to try and ‘test’ security measures or to make an unlawful vote count.”

UPDATE 8/13/2026 2:43 P.M.: The City of Three Rivers issued a statement on the announced charges, saying they are “coordinating with legal counsel and the appropriate state authorities” on the case. They reminded residents that individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law, and the city is preserving “potentially relevant records and will respond appropriately to lawful requests for information.” The city declined to comment further on the allegations or the prosecution.

“The City is grateful for an election system that protects every eligible voter’s opportunity to participate while also providing safeguards to identify and address potential unlawful voting. The investigation and review of this matter through established legal processes demonstrate those safeguards working as intended,” City Clerk Leslie Wilson said in a statement.
