Military and Overseas Voters

Military and overseas voters refer to citizens who are members of the armed forces or residing abroad, especially during elections. These individuals have specific voting rights and procedures to ensure they can participate in elections from outside their home state. In the U.S., the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) facilitates this by allowing them to request ballots, often by mail or online. This ensures that even when they are stationed far from home or living in another country, they can still exercise their right to vote in local, state, and federal elections.
