​The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act passed the House by a narrow 220-208 vote on April 10, 2025. This Act, if it passes the Senate next, would require all voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship – a passport or birth certificate (with a photo ID) ,in most cases – anytime they register or update their registration. It would also effectively end all third party voter registration drives and voters would not be allowed to submit proof of citizenship online. 

​

As a result of these requirements, tens of millions of eligible citizens could be barred from voting. There would also be a huge negative impact on the work of nonprofits doing nonpartisan voter registration work.
