US EditionDid the SAVE Act Pass the Senate Vote Today? Save Act Status, ID Requirements
The SAVE Act would impose strict citizenship proof and photo ID rules, risking disenfranchisement for over 20 million voters, mainly low-income and people of color, critics say.
- On February 27, 2026, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the Senate will vote this week on the SAVE Act after the House approved it on February 11, 2026 by 218-213.
- Requiring documentary proof-of-citizenship, the bill would amend the National Voter Registration Act to mandate in-person proof for first-time registrants and re-registering voters, adding a photo identification requirement that would eliminate registration by mail, online and automatic registration.

- Voting-Rights advocates warn the bill could jeopardize ballot access for more than 21 million Americans, while Sen. Susan Collins, Republican senator from Maine, supports it despite Maine voters rejecting a photo ID referendum last year.
