Louisiana Intimidation of Naturalized Voters
HB 554 would intimidate naturalized Louisiana voters and make it harder for many of them to vote.
Ohio SAVE Act
OH SB 153/HB 233 would require documentary proof of citizenship, along with other sweeping changes to election code like banning the use of drop boxes and requiring multiple forms of identification to match your voter registration. The bill would also drastically change the process for citizen-led ballot initiatives.
Florida Omnibus Anti-Voter Bill
HB 1381 is an omnibus (multi-issue) anti-voter bill which among other things adds documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, shortens the list of accepted voter IDs for voting including taking student ID off the list, adds harmful data sharing and list maintenance provisions, and adds a requirement of marking citizenship status on driver licenses & identification cards.
Maryland Automatic Restoration of Voter Registration for Individuals Released from State Correctional Facilities (2025)
Fair Elections Center supports Maryland HB 1110, which would streamline the registration process for individuals with a felony conviction after being released from incarceration by requiring state
agencies to collaborate to provide automatic restoration of their pre-existing voter registration upon release from incarceration.
SAVE Act (2025)
Fair Elections Center opposes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require every American to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register or re-register to vote. Requiring oftentimes hard-to-get and expensive documents make it harder for citizens to vote, and doesn’t solve any problems with our elections. Recent studies show that around ten percent of voting-eligible Americans do not have documents to show their citizenship. Those citizens are more likely to be women, low income people, and from communities of color.
Maryland Language Access (2025)
Fair Elections Center supports Maryland HB983, which would widen the tent to cover more language-minority communities.
Maryland Pre-Registration (2025)
MD HB 153 would reduce the age at which an individual may preregister to vote, from sixteen years to fifteen years and nine months and improve the communications between county election offices and preregistered voters.
