US Congressman Chip Roy has re-introduced the SAVE Act (HR 22), which mandates proof of US citizenship in person to register or update voter registration. This measure, affecting Americans abroad, particularly those in Europe who can currently register by mail, could necessitate travel to the US. Critics, including Democrats Abroad, argue it disenfranchises millions, as individuals purged from voter rolls would also need to present documentation in person. The legislation also raises concerns for overseas military personnel and others lacking the specified proof.
This legislation would require a trip to the US in order to register or make changes.
Groups like Democrats Abroad have expressed concern about the SAVE Act.
Democrats Abroad noted that people who are already registered to vote may have cause for concern too.
Experts worry other groups could also see access to voting restricted, including overseas military personnel.
