While only U.S. citizens can legally vote in Federal elections, current Federal law has undermined state laws that require proof of citizenship for voter registration. This loophole threatens the integrity of our democracy.
Representative Chip Roy’s (R-TX-21) Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act, HR.22) addresses this critical issue by amending the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) to require states to verify citizenship and identity for voter registration in federal elections.
Documentary Proof Requirement: States must obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity – in person – when registering individuals to vote in Federal elections, whether at a DMV, voter registration agency, or by mail.
Please contact your U.S. House of Representative today and urge them to support HR.22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.
