Bill 118 hr 4251, also known as the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act Study Act, aims to assess the effectiveness of the Federal Government in ensuring access to voting for absent uniformed services voters. The bill requires the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on how well the government is carrying out its responsibilities under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.
Specifically, the study will focus on promoting access to voting for absent uniformed services voters and analyzing ways to improve access to voter registration information and assistance for members of the Armed Forces and their family members. The goal is to identify any barriers or challenges that may exist in the current system and propose solutions to enhance voter participation among these groups.
Overall, the bill seeks to ensure that all eligible voters, including those serving in the military or living overseas, have the necessary resources and support to exercise their right to vote. By conducting this study, lawmakers hope to improve the voting process for these individuals and strengthen democracy in the United States.
