Military VOTE Act

This bill would require states to accept the federal post card form that military and overseas voters use to register and request absentee ballots when it is sent by email or an online portal, and would authorize $40 million in grants to help states that cannot yet do this. If a military or overseas voter does not state a preference, states would have to send the absentee ballot electronically when they have the information to do so. Voters could ask that one application count for future federal elections, and states could not reject these voters' applications for being submitted early. The bill also requires a review of voter registration information given to service members who change duty stations and a Defense Department study on automatic voter registration for service members.
