     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Protecting American Voters Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to provide certain information to a state election official, upon the official's request, to verify citizenship status for the purpose of voting in federal elections.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the agencies must provide the state election official with such information necessary to verify that an applicant for voter registration or a registrant on the official list of eligible voters is a U.S. citizen.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DHS may respond to a request by using the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, which is used to verify immigration status. DHS may not charge a fee for this information.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DHS must comply with any safeguards that the SSA determines are necessary to protect the confidentiality of an individual's Social Security number.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, the bill requires states to remove the names of noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters.&lt;/p&gt;
