🧵The SAVE Act will safeguard our elections by ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections.
Here’s what the legislation does:
Requires state election officials to ask about citizenship before providing voter registration forms.
Requires an individual to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections.
Allows state officials to accept a wide variety of documents that will make it easy for CITIZENS to register to vote in federal elections.
Provides states with access to federal agency databases so they can remove noncitizens from voter rolls and confirm citizenship for individuals lacking proof of citizenship.
Directs DHS to determine whether to conduct removal proceedings if a noncitizen has been identified as having registered to vote in federal elections.
Requires DHS to notify a state chief election official whenever an individual has been naturalized to ensure our newest citizens are able to exercise their right to vote.
