Republicans look to usher through voter ID legislation for third time with SAVE America Act

Published February 10, 2026 11:26am ET



A proof of citizenship and voter ID bill is hitting the floor for the third time in the House, granting Republicans another opportunity to push one of its strongest, election-tested messages as the party scrambles to recapture public opinion on immigration.

Eyes will also be on House Democrats to see whether they support the bill, entitled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, America Act. The legislation is an altered version of the SAVE Act, which has passed the House twice and required proof of citizenship to register to vote.
