7 States Uncovered Noncitizen Voter Registrations as SAVE Act Debate Heightens
9th June 2026
Just this year, at least seven states identified noncitizens on their voter registration lists. This comes as Congress continues to debate the SAVE America Act, a bill which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Several states obtained the names of noncitizens by cross-referencing the voter registration list with the federal database known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE. SAVE is maintained by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
