To amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to prohibit a State from removing the name of any registrant from the official list of voters eligible to vote in elections for Federal office in the State unless the State verifies, on the basis of objective and reliable evidence, that the registrant is ineligible to vote in such elections.

Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
The Save Voters Act would amend federal voting laws to restrict states' ability to remove people from voter registration rolls. Under this bill, states could only remove registered voters if they have objective and reliable evidence that the person is actually ineligible to vote, such as confirmation of a death or the voter's own written statement that they moved. The bill explicitly prohibits states from removing voters simply because they failed to vote in previous elections or ignored a notice from election officials, unless that notice was returned as undeliverable. Additionally, the bill requires states to notify individuals within 48 hours of removing them from the voter rolls, explaining the reason for removal and how to contest it or request reinstatement, and mandates public notice of any voter roll purges so people can check their registration status. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment and applies to federal elections.
