Urges US Senate to pass federal "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act."
This New Jersey joint resolution urges the U.S. Senate to pass the federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require states to collect documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering voters for federal elections. The bill aims to address concerns about noncitizens being incorrectly registered to vote through state driver's license and automatic voter registration systems by mandating stricter identity verification procedures. Under the proposed federal law, states would need to verify citizenship using accepted documents such as passports, military IDs, or birth records, and would gain access to federal databases to maintain accurate voter rolls. The resolution is sponsored by Assemblyman Gregory P. McGuckin and directs copies to congressional leadership and all members of Congress from New Jersey.
