Bill Summary
Servicemember Voting Protection Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Servicemember Voting Protection Act, amends the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act to require states, upon request, to provide absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters who receive absentee ballots in a federal election with absentee ballots for all subsequent federal elections held in the state through the next regularly scheduled general election, unless the voter notifies the state that they no longer wish to be registered or have registered in another state. The bill also prohibits states from refusing to accept or process otherwise valid voter registration or absentee ballot applications from such voters on the grounds that the application was submitted before the state's typical acceptance period for that election.
