The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio urges the United States Congress to enact the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. It emphasizes the constitutional right of U.S. citizens to vote in free and fair elections and highlights the necessity of ensuring that elections are safe and secure. The resolution points out the importance of having laws that prevent noncitizens and foreign nationals from voting, advocating for measures that require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration and the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls.

The SAVE Act, introduced in January 2025 and favorably voted out of the House in February 2026, mandates that states obtain proof of citizenship in person for voter registration and requires eligible photo identification for all voters in federal elections, including absentee voting. By implementing these provisions, the resolution asserts that the SAVE Act would reinforce existing laws that restrict voting to U.S. citizens. The Ohio House of Representatives calls for swift action from Congress to pass this legislation and plans to communicate this resolution to various congressional leaders and the media.
