**Republican-led efforts to enact the SAVE Act (H.R. 22 and related SAVE America Act versions) have repeatedly stalled in the Senate despite House passage.** The original H.R. 22 cleared the House in April 2025 on a 220-208 vote, while an expanded 2026 version passed the House 218-213 in February. Both require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and photo ID at the polls, amending the National Voter Registration Act. Senate action has failed multiple times in 2026. The bill fell short as an amendment to DHS funding legislation in June, with four Republicans joining Democrats to block it. Attempts to attach it to the NDAA and other must-pass measures also failed to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated he sees little chance of advancing it in the current session given the vote math and opposition. President Trump has prioritized the measure and linked other legislation to its passage, but these efforts have not altered Senate dynamics. Some states have enacted parallel requirements, yet federal enactment remains blocked. With Congress facing a compressed calendar and no procedural workaround (such as reconciliation) clearing all hurdles, traders assess passage and presidential signature in 2026 as highly improbable.
