The resolution urges the United States Senate to pass the federal Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which aims to enhance the integrity of voter registration processes in federal elections. It highlights the importance of ensuring that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote, noting that current federal law does not require documentary proof of citizenship when registering. The resolution points out that recent efforts to streamline voter registration through state motor vehicle departments have led to instances of noncitizens being mistakenly registered to vote, which has raised public concerns about the security and legitimacy of elections.

The SAVE Act proposes to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) by requiring states to obtain documentary proof of U.S. citizenship and identity from individuals registering to vote. It would also mandate states to implement verification programs for registrants' citizenship status and provide them with free access to federal databases to maintain accurate voter rolls. The New Jersey Legislature believes that passing the SAVE Act would restore public trust in the electoral process and ensure safe, fair, and secure elections, thus calling for immediate action from the Senate.
