Voter registration; require registrars to submit applicant's information into federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) System.
HB 892 requires Mississippi voter registrars to check all new voter registration applicants against the federal SAVE system (which verifies U.S. citizenship) before processing applications. This directly affects applicants whose citizenship is questioned by the system, potentially placing them in "pending" status until they provide proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate or passport). Registrars must annually report to the Secretary of State how many applicants were flagged by SAVE and how many were removed after verification. The bill also mandates the Secretary of State to conduct two annual checks of voter records against SAVE and exempt SAVE-related data from public disclosure under Mississippi's public records law.
