Require citizenship documents to register for federal elections

Randy Weber supports Rep. Chip Roy’s H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Weber says acceptable documents could include a REAL ID, passport, or valid federal, state, or Tribal government identification showing the applicant’s U.S. place of birth; a U.S. military ID could be used with paperwork showing place of birth. For people whose citizenship documents do not reflect a name change, the bill would direct states to establish a way for them to register despite the discrepancy, using combinations of existing identification, state birth certificates, or similar documents.

Context: Weber describes his support for H.R. 22 and its proposed requirements; the source does not establish that the bill has become law.

In their own words

I proudly support Rep. Chip Roy’s bill, H.R. 22—the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act—which would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require documented proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections.
