Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act

The SAVE Act (H.R. 7296 in the 119th Congress, alternatively titled the SAVE America Act) would require voter registration officials to reject any application for federal election registration unless the applicant provides documentary proof of U.S. citizenship — specifically a passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or REAL ID marked as citizenship-verified. The requirement applies to both new registrations and re-registrations. The bill passed the House 218-213 on February 11, 2026 (only one Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar, crossed over). The Senate version — sponsored by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) — began deliberations March 17, 2026 and faces filibuster hurdles.
