SAVE Act Requires In Person Proof Of Citizenship

  • The SAVE Act requires in-person documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections, closing many mail/online registration loopholes.
  • It defines acceptable documents (passport, certain military or government IDs, naturalization papers) and mandates alternative verification plus perjury attestation options.

  • Freitas frames the SAVE Act as prioritizing security over convenience for federal elections.

Large Unauthorized Population Raises Voting Risk
