Voter Citizenship Verification: New Rules for States

This act aims to make it easier for states to verify the citizenship of individuals registering to vote or already registered. This will allow states to remove non-citizens from voter lists, increasing confidence in the accuracy of voter rolls. These changes may impact the voter registration process and the maintenance of current voter data.
Key points
States can request data from federal agencies (Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration) to verify voter citizenship.
The Department of Homeland Security can use the SAVE system to check immigration status to assist states in citizenship verification.
States gain clear authority to remove non-citizens from voter lists.
Citizenship verification will be free for states, and personal data, such as Social Security numbers, will be protected.
