SAVE Act

The SAVE Act requires voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. It defines acceptable proof as documents like U.S. passports, birth certificates, military IDs, or government-issued IDs showing U.S. birth. States must verify citizenship through these documents or use government databases like the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE system. The bill establishes processes for voters without required documentation to submit affidavits under penalty of perjury. It aims to ensure only U.S. citizens can register to vote in federal elections.
