Existing voters are not required to reregister solely because of the SAVE Act. Reregistration is only needed for changes such as a new address or name, and in those cases proof of U.S. citizenship must be provided.

  • Would you need a passport, REAL ID to vote if SAVE Act passes?

    Federal law already requires that voters in national elections be U.S. citizens, but there’s no requirement to provide documentary proof.

    "Our election is complicated, and there's a lot of challenges for people to keep up," said Hanmer, who noted that people may be unaware of election changes or confused about their state's existing voter ID requirements or voter registration rules. What helps is getting the correct information out there, which also requires the "discipline from public officials in trying to do the same or at least not making it worse by making accusations that they either don't have evidence for, or worse, they know are not correct," he said.
