![What is the SAVE Act?
The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would:
-Require all Americans to present proof of citizenship in person when they register to vote or update their registration
-Eliminate online and mail-in voter registration overnight
-Shut down voter registration drives nationwide
Millions of Americans rely on these options to make their voices heard every year.

![What makes the SAVE Act so dangerous?
While proving your citizenship might sound easy for some voters, here’s the reality:
-More than 140 million American citizens do not have a passport.
-69 million married women have changed their names and do not have a birth certificate that matches their current name.
-About 1.3 million trans voters already face challenges getting passports that match their legal name change and gender identity.
-Voters of color, lower income families, and climate disaster survivors are more likely to lack access to citizenship documents.
