H 671 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An act relating to requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration

H.671 requires voters in Vermont to provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote. This affects all individuals registering to vote in the state, including new registrants and those updating their registration. The bill mandates acceptance of documents like U.S. birth certificates, passports, or naturalization certificates, and requires the Secretary of State to verify citizenship using the federal SAVE Program. It amends voter registration statutes to add this requirement and specifies the acceptable forms of proof.
