SAVE Act Debate Over Voter Citizenship Rules

Congress is debating whether to require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, with the SAVE America Act stalled in the Senate by the filibuster while a Trump executive order on voter ID has been partly blocked by federal courts.

Where people stand

Protect Voting Access and Oppose Documentary Proof: Congress should reject new documentation requirements that could make it harder for eligible voters to participate, and the Senate should sustain the filibuster against the SAVE America Act.

Require Documentary Proof of Citizenship: Congress should require clear documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, and the Senate should use the talking filibuster or procedural changes to bring the SAVE America Act to a final vote.
