A resolution to urge the United States Congress to enact legislation requiring documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, such as House Bill 22 of the 119th Congress, also known as the “SAVE Act.”

The Michigan House passed a resolution urging Congress to require proof of U.S. citizenship for people to register to vote in federal elections. This proposal is similar to a previous bill known as the 'SAVE Act.' The resolution is sponsored by Representative Rachelle Smit, a Republican.

Supporters of the resolution argue that requiring documentary proof of citizenship will help secure the integrity of the electoral process. They believe this measure will prevent voter fraud and ensure that only eligible citizens can participate in elections, reinforcing trust in democratic institutions.

Critics of the resolution contend that requiring proof of citizenship could disenfranchise eligible voters, particularly among marginalized communities. They argue that such measures may create unnecessary barriers to voting and could be seen as a politically motivated effort to suppress turnout in federal elections.
