The House passed the Republican-led SAVE Act in a 220-208 vote, requiring people to present proof of U.S. citizenship—such as a passport or birth certificate—to register to vote in federal elections.
Four Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the bill, which also mandates that states remove Illegal immigrants from voter rolls and allows citizens to sue officials who don’t enforce the requirements.
Supporters argue it protects election integrity, while critics say it could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain path forward.
