About this vote

S. 1383 carries the title Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act, but the Congressional Research Service summary on record describes it as the SAVE America Act, which requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to vote in federal elections. A motion to proceed is the vote on whether the Senate will begin considering a measure. The motion passed, so the Senate took up the bill.
