The House on Thursday passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE Act, in a 220-208 vote. Four Democrats joined all present Republicans in passing the bill.
The bill requires proof of US citizenship to be able to register to vote in a federal election. Documents proving US citizenship accepted under the bill include those consistent with the REAL ID Act of 2005, a valid US passport, a military identification card alongside a military record of service that shows the person’s place of birth was in the US, a valid government-issued photo ID card showing the person’s place of birth was in the US, and a valid birth certificate, among other documents.
