SAVE Act Has Broad Bipartisan Support with Voters

he bitter debate between Democrats and Republicans over the SAVE Act — which would require voters to provide a valid ID to cast a ballot — has roiled political waters as both major parties gird themselves for the 2026 midterms. But do voters care? They sure do, and it’s not good news for the Democrats, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll results indicate.

The online poll, taken from Feb. 24 to Feb. 27 by 1,456 adults nationwide, asked voters: “The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) is a proposed federal law that would require individuals to present identification and prove U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. What comes closer to your view?”

The results weren’t really close. A hefty 64% agreed with the statement that “It is a good idea and would help ensure that only eligible citizens are able to vote.”

A 49/40 plurality wants federal oversight on voter-ID rules. That can only apply to federal elections; states and localities control their own elections. In practical terms, though, the federal rules would have to be enforced for most elections in the US other than municipal elections.
