The U.S. House voting record shows 208 Representatives voted against the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, among them was Rep. Ilhan Omar, who represents Minnesota’s 5th congressional district.

The SAVE Act (H.R.22) would require applicants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. It would bar states from accepting a federal registration form without that proof. Supporters argue it strengthens election integrity by ensuring only U.S. citizens can register for federal elections and standardizes enforcement.

On April 10, 2025, the U.S. House held Roll Call Vote 102 on final passage of H.R.22 (SAVE Act). The measure passed 220–208 in a recorded Yea-and-Nay vote, with 5 not voting. The party breakdown was Republicans: 216 yea, 0 nay, 4 not voting; Democrats: 4 yea, 208 nay, 1 not voting. The Clerk’s roll call preserves the official member-by-member positions tied to this final-passage action.

The SAVE Act would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and defines “documentary proof” of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration. The bill also directs states to take steps to prevent noncitizens from being registered for federal elections, including procedures for identifying and removing ineligible registrants, as described in Congress.gov’s bill summary and text.

The U.S. House is one of Congress’s two chambers and part of the legislative branch. The number of voting Representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435, with members elected to two-year terms from congressional districts apportioned by population. The House introduces and votes on legislation and conducts committee work central to federal lawmaking.
