Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill (the SAVE Act or Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) amends the National Voter Registration Act to require individuals to provide documentary proof of United States citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. The bill establishes specific types of acceptable documentation for proving citizenship, such as a REAL ID, U.S. passport, military identification, birth certificates, and other government-issued documents. States will be required to verify citizenship through various means, including databases from the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration. The bill creates a process for individuals who cannot immediately provide citizenship documentation, allowing them to submit an affidavit and additional evidence. Election officials will be required to remove non-citizens from voter rolls and are prohibited from registering individuals who cannot prove citizenship. The legislation also mandates that federal agencies share information to help verify citizenship status and requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to notify state election officials when an individual becomes a naturalized citizen. The bill includes provisions to ensure that individuals can still cast provisional ballots and does not affect other state exemptions from federal laws. These new requirements aim to prevent non-citizens from registering to vote in federal elections by implementing more stringent verification processes.
