SAVE Act

What this bill does

  • The bill requires voters to show documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.
  • This affects all states and individuals registering to vote, and allows private lawsuits against election officials.
  • States must establish verification programs and remove noncitizens from voter rolls; violators face criminal penalties.

  2. 02

    What evidence exists about the prevalence of noncitizen voting, and does it justify the administrative costs and potential implementation challenges?

  3. 03

    How might private lawsuit provisions against election officials affect their willingness to process voter registrations, and what safeguards would protect against frivolous claims?
