The SAVE Act, reintroduced by Congressman Chip Roy at the start of January 2025, proposes stringent voting requirements, mandating proof of US citizenship for voter registration. The bill, which previously failed in the Senate, would necessitate that Americans abroad, particularly in Europe, travel to the US to register or update their voting status. Critics, including Democrats Abroad, argue this could disenfranchise millions and complicate voting for overseas military personnel and other potential voters lacking required documentation such as passports or birth certificates.
This is a voter disenfranchisement bill, pure and simple. It would impact millions of Americans and effectively end voting from abroad.
Only a birth certificate or passport will be accepted as proof of US citizenship, effectively requiring a trip back to the U.S. for many voters.
