An important vote is coming up in the U.S. Senate, and we need our Senators to vote NO.

What's the SAVE ACT? It's a bill that would add additional barriers to voting.

One of the barriers this bill is trying to impose on voters would be requiring folks to bring passports or birth certificates in person to their election office back home in order to register.

This means - no more registration from your far-away duty station – and no more being able to use your driver's license, military ID, or Tribal ID! In fact, if you were born overseas, or if you’ve changed your first or last name (for example - if your last name was changed after marriage), using a birth certificate might not be enough either.

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and carries strict punishments. States already have robust checks and processes to ensure only eligible voters are voting, without adding all of these additional barriers on Americans. State Boards of Elections verify the identity and eligibility of voters by cross-referencing their information (like ID numbers, signature matching, etc.) against existing databases, well in advance before Election Day. This bill adds unnecessary paperwork requirements and additional challenges to access the ballot box.

It’s a dangerous bill, especially for military voters.

In April, the SAVE Act passed the House with a vote of 220 to 208, and now it sits in the U.S. Senate. We need your help: write to your Senators and tell them why this bill is bad for military families.
