Military VOTE Act
This bill requires the Department of Defense to offer voter registration assistance at military enlistment or commissioning, providing registration forms and helping complete them for members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, or merchant marines. It mandates electronic transmission of absentee ballots to military voters and requires states to update contact information for active-duty voters, including spouses and dependents. The bill also allows a single absentee ballot application to cover all future federal elections unless the voter leaves military service. It directly affects active-duty service members, their families, and merchant marines who vote absentee.
