Urges US Senate to pass federal "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act."
This New Jersey Senate Joint Resolution (SJR 128) is a symbolic resolution urging the U.S. Senate to pass the federal "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act." It does not create new law but calls for action on the SAVE Act, which would require states to verify U.S. citizenship and identity documents (like passports or birth certificates) during voter registration for federal elections. Currently, federal law does not mandate such proof, and the resolution cites instances where noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote through automatic systems. The resolution emphasizes restoring public confidence in election security, as highlighted by surveys showing significant voter concerns about ineligible voting.
