Reject Anti-Voter Policies

Action Alert (Black woman with megaphone)

Submitted by the US (LWVUS) in March 2025.

Action Alerts

The House and Senate introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require citizenship documentation to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering.
