The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and photo identification at the polls, passed the House in February 2026 on a 218-213 vote. Senate consideration has repeatedly stalled, with cloture motions on standalone versions and attachments to must-pass measures such as the NDAA and appropriations bills failing to reach the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Multiple attempts, including June and August 2026 votes that peaked at 53-47 and 52-46, drew opposition from several Republicans alongside unified Democratic resistance. Trader consensus in related markets reflects these procedural and vote-count barriers, with enactment by year-end dependent on any late-session shifts in Senate dynamics or rule changes during the current Congress.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if any bill, measure, or resolution that requires proof of U.S. citizenship as a condition for registering to vote or to vote in U.S. federal elections is passed by both chambers of the U.S. Congress and signed into law, or is otherwise enacted into U.S. federal law, by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Examples of qualifying legislation include H.R. 22, the “SAVE Act,” and H.R. 7296, the “SAVE America Act.” The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
