The men and women serving overseas in the U.S. military who risk their lives for us are often denied the basic right to vote.
"Military Voting Rights USA" is a national network dedicated to ensuring that military voters have their votes cast and counted.
Our long-term goal is to build a grassroots network that will address and solve problems that infringe on military voting rights.

Military Voting Rights
Action Agenda:
(There are two immediate problems that we are addressing)
Problem 1.
BALLOTS DELIVERED LATE FROM OVERSEAS ARE NOT COUNTED.
The ballots of military voters are very often not counted because the mail delivery system gets them to election officials after the deadline required for those ballots to be counted.
Solution 1:
We support federal legislation (H.R. 6009) to establish a national express mail delivery system for overseas military voters that will get votes home in 4 days instead of the three weeks the process now takes.
Problem 2.
OVERSEAS MILITARY VOTERS CANNOT ATTEND OR PARTICIPATE IN PRESIDENTIAL DELEGATE SELECTION CAUCUSES.
Military voters serving overseas are, in effect, prohibited by Rules in both political parties from participating in the Presidential delegate selection process in any state where those delegates are selected in a caucus which requires that participants appear in person to have their votes counted.
Solution 2:
We support changes in state and national Rules in both parties to guarantee that military voters have the right to vote in presidential delegate selection caucuses by absentee ballot.
