H.R.8281 SAVE Act
SAVE Act — requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections (118th Congress)
View on Congress.govLegal & Constitutional Grounding
SCOTUS ruled the NVRA preempts state documentary proof-of-citizenship requirements (Arizona v. ITCA, 2013).
National Voter Registration Act (52 U.S.C. § 20501 et seq.) — requires states to accept the federal voter registration form, which requires attestation of citizenship under penalty of perjury
- Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, 570 U.S. 1 (2013) — SCOTUS held that NVRA preempts state documentary proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections
- Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 611
