Protecting American Voters Act
HR 3162, the Protecting American Voters Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to provide states with citizenship verification information for voter registration applicants and current registrants using the existing SAVE system. This enables states to confirm U.S. citizenship status and remove noncitizens from voter rolls based on that verification. The law prohibits federal agencies from charging states fees for this service and mandates privacy protections for Social Security numbers. It takes effect for elections held on or after January 1, 2024.
