WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Neal Dunn (Florida-02) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 8281, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require every state to obtain proof of U.S. citizenship – in person – when a person registers to vote and requires states to remove all non-citizens from their voter rolls.

“Requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote shouldn’t be an option, it should be a requirement for anyone who casts a ballot,” said Congressman Dunn. “It is unbelievable that some refuse to prioritize election integrity. I’m proud to be a co-sponsor of the SAVE Act and keep my promise to preserve the sanctity of our ballot box and prevent non-citizens from voting. I’m pleased that the SAVE Act has passed the House and hope the Senate will take up this legislation without delay.”
