SAVE America Act Would End Voter Registration Drives Nationwide

newsApr 5, 20263510

The SAVE America Act includes a provision banning third-party voter registration drives nationwide. Voting rights groups say the ban would shut down community and nonprofit registration efforts. Marc Elias sued Ron DeSantis over Florida's version of the law, setting up a likely court fight. The change matters because registration drives are a primary way to register young, low-income, and minority voters, and banning them would shrink turnout and centralize control over WHO can register.
