SAVE Act

Key Points

• Would require people to show proof they are U.S. citizens when registering to vote in federal elections.
• Lists acceptable documents, like a U.S. passport, certain government IDs showing U.S. birth, or an ID plus a certified birth certificate or naturalization papers.
• Would apply across common sign-up methods, including motor vehicle offices, mail-in registration forms, and voter registration agencies.
• Says states must set up a backup process for people who can’t provide the standard documents, where officials review other evidence and sign an affidavit.
• Pushes states and federal agencies to share data to identify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and adds penalties for officials who register someone without proof.
