• Requires every single voter to provide documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC), in person at an election office, each time they want to register to vote or update their registration. For most Americans, this would mean showing a passport, a birth certificate, or naturalization papers.
• Creates civil and criminal penalties — including up to five years in prison — for election workers who register a voter who doesn’t present DPOC, even if that voter is a citizen.
• Would upend voter registration as we know it. Requiring voters to present DPOC in person at election offices would nullify common methods of voter registration:
  • Mail-in registration
  • Online voter registration
  • Voter registration drives

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of people to register and vote:

1. Married women and others who have changed their names and do not have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.
2. Lower-income people and people with lower levels of education, who are less likely to have a passport.
3. People with disabilities, elderly people, eligible voters who are incarcerated, hospitalized, or otherwise unable to present themselves in person.

"My name is ______ and I live in CITY, STATE.

I’m calling because I’m concerned about the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act).

There is no epidemic of non-citizens illegally voting in elections. So the SAVE Act’s extreme and unnecessary barriers to voter registration are simply threatening to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

I urge you to reject the SAVE Act and instead prioritize measures that expand access to voting, protect election integrity, and ensure every voice is heard.

Thank you for your time."
