Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Reform Act of 2001
Summary
This bill aims to make it easier for members of the military serving away from home and American citizens living overseas to participate in federal elections. It establishes a mandatory minimum timeframe for states to accept absentee ballots after Election Day and streamlines the process for registering to vote and requesting ballots from abroad. Additionally, the bill provides federal funding to help states implement these changes and ensures that recently discharged service members retain their ability to vote as they transition back to civilian life.
