Can HGTV's Drew & Jonathan Scott Vote In The U.S.? What We Know

There are many things you might not know about the Property Brothers, but long-time fans will likely be aware that Drew and Jonathan Scott originally hail from Canada. While the twins now have a major presence in America, the details about their citizenship status and their subsequent ability to vote in U.S. elections aren't entirely clear. We know that Jonathan is a citizen, as he celebrated his first American vote alongside his partner Zooey Deschanel in an October 2020 Instagram post, but Drew's citizenship status isn't as obvious.

As a refresher, the Scott brothers were born in Vancouver in April 1978, growing up on a ranch in Maple Ridge and attending the University of Calgary. Before Drew and Jonathan's HGTV fame, the brothers expanded their real estate business to Las Vegas in 2008. Jonathan was the first to establish the Nevada branch, with Drew and his now wife Linda Phan joining him in 2012. The TV personalities have since settled in Los Angeles, with Jonathan in particular taking on U.S.-centered political activism.

The contractor has been an advocate for climate change action and homeowner awareness of sustainable energy sources, working with former Vice President Al Gore's Climate Reality Project and directing and starring in the PBS documentary "Jonathan Scott's Power Trip." He's also on the Cultural Council of the nonprofit RepresentUs, fighting against government corruption alongside fellow celebrities. Meanwhile, Drew has gotten involved in politics in his own way, with a celebratory Instagram suggesting he's ready to dive in further.

In September 2024, Drew Scott took to Instagram to celebrate his wife's Linda Phan becoming an official U.S. citizen after being born and raised in Canada. "Today Lindy became a citizen of the United States of America," the HGTV star captioned the post. "And after years of living in Los Angeles, she is SUPER excited to finally be allowed to vote." Scott goes on to encourage his followers to register, implying that he's also ready to cast his vote come November. "Please join us, register to vote, and use your most powerful asset: your voice!" he added.

In this way, it seems like Drew has joined his brother Jonathan in becoming an official U.S. citizen. This isn't surprising, as the real estate agent previously expressed his support for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential run. "She has answers. She has solutions," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a photo of Clinton and Donald Trump during a presidential debate. "He has ego. #debates2016 #imwithher." Like his brother, Drew has also been an advocate for environmental reform, sitting on the Board of Directors of the Environmental Media Association with his wife. While the Property Brothers weren't born U.S. citizens, they've certainly found their footing here in the years since they departed from home.
