To urge the United States Congress to enact the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
This resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The proposed federal law would require states to collect documentary proof of citizenship when people register to vote and to remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls. By adopting this resolution, the Ohio legislature is formally requesting that Congress enact these specific measures to ensure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections.
