AI Summary
This bill, the "Save Voters Act" or the "Stop Automatically Voiding Eligible Voters Off Their Enlisted Rolls in States Act," aims to prohibit states from removing individuals from the official list of registered voters due to changes in residence. It also allows voters who have been automatically registered or previously registered in a state to update their address on the day of the election. The bill 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. It also requires states to provide notice to individuals who have been removed from the voter rolls and offer them an opportunity to demonstrate their eligibility and be reinstated.
