A BILL To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to clarify that a State may not use an individual’s failure to vote as the basis for initiating the procedures provided under such Act for the removal of the individual from the official list of registered voters in the State on the grounds that the individual has changed residence, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Stop Automatically Voiding Eligible Voters Off Their Enlisted Rolls in States Act" or the "Save Voters Act," aims to prohibit states from removing individuals from the official list of registered voters due to changes in residence. It amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require states to verify, based on objective and reliable evidence, that a registrant is ineligible to vote before removing them from the voter rolls. The bill also allows voters who have moved within a state to update their address on the day of the election and vote at their new polling place or a central location within the same registrar's jurisdiction.
