Miller-Meeks Joins Legislation to Prohibit Illegal Immigrants from Voting in Federal Elections

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01) has joined Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) in supporting H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which strengthens election integrity by ensuring only American citizens can vote in federal elections. This legislation requires states to verify proof of citizenship before registering voters and mandates the removal of non-citizens from existing voter rolls, providing states with the necessary tools to enforce these safeguards.

"American elections should be decided by American citizens, and that’s exactly what the SAVE Act ensures." said Miller-Meeks. "This legislation will help protect the integrity of our elections by requiring proof of citizenship before registration and removing non-citizens from voter rolls. I’m proud to support this commonsense bill that will secure the future of our democracy and restore confidence in our electoral system."

The SAVE Act passed the House with bipartisan support last Congress, only to be blocked by Senate Democrats. With President Trump back in the White House, House Republicans are committed to ensuring this commonsense legislation reaches his desk and is signed into law.

Background:

The threat to election integrity is real. Millions of illegal immigrants remain in the country, and with Democrat-led policies weakening voter registration safeguards, the risk of foreign interference in our elections has never been higher. While Democrats push to erode election security and flood voter rolls with non-citizens, House Republicans are taking action to restore public trust in our electoral system.

The SAVE Act would:

• Require proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections.
• Ensure states remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls.
• Provide states the tools necessary to verify voter eligibility.
