Project Civica Leads New York's Fight for Election Integrity: Citizens Deliver Petitions to Congress

ALBANY, N.Y. - Sept. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- Project Civica, a New York-based civic action organization, will join Tea Party Patriots Action and the Election Integrity Network at a rally and petition delivery on September 10, 2025, at Upper Senate Park, Washington, D.C.

Project Civica will help deliver thousands of petition signatures alongside the national coalition, urging Congress to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The legislation, already passed by the U.S. House, would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, closing loopholes that allow noncitizens on voter rolls.

Project Civica's Role in New York

Project Civica recently completed its statewide Only Citizens Vote petition drive, gathering signatures from across New York in support of stronger voter protections. By joining the national coalition, Project Civica represents New Yorkers who demand secure and transparent elections.

"New Yorkers deserve secure elections they can trust," said Kim Hermance, President of Project Civica. "Our vote is our voice. The SAVE Act ensures that only U.S. citizens decide America's future."

Hermance added: "Our Republic depends on free and fair elections. Every citizen's ballot should count fully, without dilution. The SAVE Act safeguards that principle."

Why the SAVE Act Matters

• Federal law prohibits noncitizen voting, but there is no uniform verification process.
• The SAVE Act requires states to obtain proof of citizenship before adding voters to the rolls.
• A July poll by McLaughlin & Associates found that 83% of Americans, including 73% of Democrats, 82% of Independents, and 92% of Republicans, support these requirements.
