SAVE Act

This bill says that people must show documents proving they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote in federal elections. States would not be allowed to register someone to vote unless that person provides proof of citizenship, such as an ID that meets certain federal standards. States would also have to set up programs to find and remove non-citizens from their voter registration lists, and they must offer another way for people to prove citizenship if they don't have the standard documents. The bill also creates criminal penalties for election officials who register someone without requiring proof of citizenship, and it allows private citizens to sue officials who do so.
