**Republican majorities in both chambers have advanced versions of the SAVE Act (H.R. 22), which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration, but the bill remains stalled in the Senate as of mid-August 2026.** It passed the House multiple times, most recently in February 2026 and through procedural attachments to other measures like the NDAA in July 2026. Senate consideration has not produced the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster, despite the chamber’s 53-47 Republican edge (including independents caucusing with Democrats). Without bipartisan support, which has not emerged on this measure, cloture remains improbable before the November 2026 midterms compress the legislative calendar. The White House has backed the policy through executive action, yet statutory enactment still requires full congressional passage and presidential signature. These procedural and vote-count realities underpin the market’s strong consensus against enactment in 2026.
