States Advance Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Laws as Senate Deadlock Continues

Republican-led states are enacting laws requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register or vote amid federal Senate stalemate, affecting millions of voters, experts say.

  • While the U.S. Senate remains deadlocked over proof-of-citizenship voting requirements, some Republican-led states are advancing laws requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote.
  • South Dakota and Utah have passed laws creating a two-tier voting system where those with proof can vote in all elections, while others can only vote in federal elections.
  • The federal SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot.
