Rep. Eric Burlison introduced the No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act, legislation that eliminates existing exceptions in federal law that excuse certain instances of non-citizen voting and ensure that violations are treated consistently under federal immigration law.
Eliminate federal-law exceptions that excuse certain non-citizen voting and apply the same legal consequences to any non-citizen who votes in violation of election law.
Occurrences
Rep. Eric Burlison (MO-07) introduced the No Exceptions for Non-Citizens Voting Act, legislation that eliminates existing exceptions in federal law that excuse certain instances of non-citizen voting and ensure that violations are treated consistently under federal immigration law.
Evidence
Congress.gov shows H.R. 22 (SAVE Act) has status 'Passed House' and its latest action was 'Senate - 04/10/2025 Received in the Senate.' The bill summary says it requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections, and the text adds requirements for removing noncitizens from registration rolls and criminal penalties tied to noncitizen registration/voting-related violations.
The House clerk's roll call for H.R. 22 shows Eric Burlison voted 'Yea' on passage. The vote passed 220-208.
Assessments
Burlison took a concrete in-office step toward this promise by voting for House passage of the SAVE Act, the closest federal vehicle to the claimed policy. That bill advanced the policy by tightening proof-of-citizenship rules and penalties tied to noncitizen registration or voting violations, but it did not become federal law. Because the promised nationwide legal change was not enacted, he cannot receive full delivery credit; because he materially supported the relevant measure while in office, this is best scored as partial rather than never.
