HCONRES 28 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing the sense of Congress that the votes of overseas servicemembers must be counted and honored as required under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

This concurrent resolution (HCONRES 28) expresses Congress's non-binding opinion that overseas military voters' absentee ballots must be counted under the existing Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). It states that states and election authorities must fully count legally submitted ballots from military personnel and overseas citizens without rejection due to administrative errors or delays. The resolution urges the Attorney General to monitor compliance with UOCAVA and take action against violations, reinforcing federal protections for military voters' right to participate in elections. It does not create new law but affirms existing legal obligations under UOCAVA.
