Oppose the SAVE Act TODAY

The House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act for the second time in April 2025. The SAVE Act would require citizenship documentation to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering. WE MUST Oppose the SAVE Act TODAY and safeguard our already strong elections here in Minnesota: tell your Senators to vote "No"!

LWV NU last month joined the LWV MN and dozens of other state and local leagues in opposing the proposed Department of Homeland Security's expansion of the SAVE system - Systemic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program. "We fundamentally disagree with DHS’s implementation of an expanded SAVE system. Federal law protects all American citizens and lawful residents from improper government use of their data. After months of DHS using the expanded SAVE system without legally required transparency or public input, the League writes with concerns about the utility, legality, and tangible impact of expanding the SAVE system as proposed."
