OWL Alert August 7: VOTING RIGHTS: OPPOSE THE S.A.V.E. ACT

TELL CONGRESS TO OPPOSE
BILLS THAT INHIBIT VOTING

Situation: Congress is continuing to introduce bills that would require voters to present documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) to register and/or vote. In the 119th Congress, three major pieces of legislation have been introduced to require DPOC to vote. 
  • The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House in 2025 and would require citizenship documentation to register to vote, and, more recently
  • The SAVE America Act and the Make Elections Great Again Act, which have even stricter components than the SAVE Act, like requirements for voters to present DPOC both at registration and the polls, and for absentee ballots to be received by election day.
Action:  Contact your representatives and urge them to oppose this suite of bills, which will suppress voting, especially by people of color and those of limited resources.  The League of Women Voters has made this easy.
