Assessment of the Federal Voting Assistance Program Office Implementation of the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act

Abstract

The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA [P.L. 99-410], August 28, 1986), as amended and subsequently modified by the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act (P.L. 111-84, Title V, Subtitle H) on October 28, 2009, specified that the right to vote was fundamental. The law explained that many logistical, geographical, operational, and environmental barriers restricted the ability to vote for military and other eligible overseas citizens. Accordingly, the law established various programs and requirements intended to help military and eligible overseas citizens register, vote, and have their votes counted.
