The Passage of the MOVE Act
Last week the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act was signed into law. This bill represents the largest overhaul in military voting since UOCAVA and the most substantial federal election law change since HAVA. Senator Charles Schumer’s statement on the Senate Floor emphasizes its significance, and a factsheet summarizes the provisions of the MOVE Act.
