Save Act will be brought to a floor vote. Bill is being changed to add Photo ID

You must be a citizen and show proof to vote.


Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Monday that the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the SAVE Act, will receive a floor vote in the coming weeks, marking a major step in Republicans’ push to establish proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections.

The bill, which passed the House in April, would require individuals registering to vote in federal elections to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. Acceptable forms include a passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate or other government-issued documents verifying citizenship.

The measure also directs states to use federal databases, including those from the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security, to verify the citizenship status of registered voters. It requires states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls if identified and imposes penalties on election officials who knowingly process voter registration applications without proper documentation.
