Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act

The Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act (UMOVA) is a U.S. law designed to simplify voting for military members and citizens living abroad. It ensures they can register to vote and receive their ballots more easily, even when they are away from their usual voting locations. UMOVA allows these voters to use electronic means for registration and ballot submission, helping to ensure their voices are heard in elections despite geographical challenges. The act aims to support participation in the democratic process for those serving in the military or residing outside the country.
