AI Summary
This bill, the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The bill specifies the types of acceptable documents, such as a U.S. passport or birth certificate, and requires states to establish processes for individuals who cannot immediately provide such proof. It also allows states to use government databases to verify the citizenship status of registrants and remove non-citizens from voter rolls. The bill also provides guidance from the Election Assistance Commission on implementing these new requirements and exempts the development of voter registration materials from the Paperwork Reduction Act.
