Congresswoman Tenney Applauds the Passage of the SAVE Act

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, applauded the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act today. This legislation amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, requiring individuals to provide proof of United States citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. 

This legislation, which Rep. Tenney cosponsored, passed the House by a vote of 220-208. 

 "American elections, laws, and elected leaders should be decided by American citizens only. The SAVE Act is common-sense legislation that safeguards this principle by ensuring only U.S. citizens can vote in our elections. It protects our most fundamental right by requiring proof of citizenship to register and remove non-citizens from voter rolls. By passing the SAVE Act today, House Republicans took a historic step toward restoring trust and strengthening the integrity of our electoral process,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
