What this bill would do

The "SAVE America Act" amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require individuals to provide documentary proof of United States citizenship when registering to vote in Federal elections. It establishes specific acceptable documents, such as valid passports or certain government-issued IDs, to verify citizenship. The bill also mandates that voters present an eligible photo identification document at the time of voting for Federal offices. Additionally, it requires States to implement programs to identify and remove non-citizens from voter registration rolls. These changes apply to all Federal elections occurring on or after the date of enactment.

The opposite· 3 of 5

  • Would immigrants be better off under this?-6

    The bill increases the risk of immigration proceedings and investigations for individuals based on voter registration discrepancies.

  • Does this make casting a ballot easier in practice?-5

    Requiring physical copies of photo IDs for absentee voting and specific documentary proof for registration increases the burden on casting a ballot.

  • Would households on low incomes be better off under this?-4

    The requirement to present tangible photo identification and documentary proof may disproportionately affect those with fewer resources to obtain such documents.
