WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) voted for the ''Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act'," also known as the '"SAVE America Act." The legislation, which Rep. Kelly co-sponsored, would uphold and strengthen current law by permitting only U.S. citizens to vote in federal elections.
Kelly previously supported the SAVE Act when it passed the House in 2025. Today's vote includes new language to strengthen voter ID requirements, which are supported by 83% of Americans.
"The SAVE Act ensures only American citizens are allowed to vote in American elections. The legislation also includes critical voter ID requires that will strengthen our elections across the board. Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our democracy," said Rep. Kelly.
BACKGROUND
The SAVE America Act would protect and preserve the right of American citizens to vote by:
- Requiring individuals to present an eligible photo identification document before voting. (NEW)
- Requiring states to obtain proof of citizenship - in person - when registering an individual to vote. (From original SAVE Act)
- Requiring states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. (From original SAVE Act)
