(INDIANAPOLIS) – Indiana will now be able to verify the citizenship status of individuals on the State’s voter rolls.
Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS-USCIS), granting the state access to Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) data. This federal tool will be used to verify citizenship status, ensuring that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote in Indiana. SAVE data will be used to confirm the citizenship status of registrants who do not have citizenship credentials at hand.
Morales says as someone who knows firsthand what it means to earn U.S. citizenship, he deeply values the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship, and especially the right to vote. Morales says the agreement is another step in safeguarding the rights of every eligible Hoosier voter and reflects his office’s commitment to protecting the integrity of elections in Indiana.
The SAVE program allows election officials to cross-reference voter registration information with federal immigration data, providing an additional safeguard against noncitizen voting and maintaining the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls. Individuals on the voter rolls whose citizenship cannot be confirmed by BMV, will be notified by mail and have an opportunity to confirm their citizenship status.
Secretary Morales expresses gratitude to President Donald J. Trump and his DHS-USCIS team for their work in finalizing the agreement.
