It depends on the state as far as I understand it.

You need to be registered as a voter, which requires that you be a citizen. How that is enforced varies.

There are also ID requirements at the poll site. Again, those vary.

In every state I've lived in voting was in some way (optionally) tied to your driver's license. But the body issuing the license has always known whether or not I was a US citizen so it boils down to the same thing.
