Shutterstock (TNS) A bill introduced in Congress on Tuesday would enable all active-duty service members to cast votes electronically while they are stationed overseas.
The bill, called the Reducing Barriers for Military Voters Act, would establish an end-to-end electronic voting system for troops stationed in hazardous duty zones or on rotational deployments. Depending on their state of residence, some service members voting overseas must currently print out their ballots and mail them. Voting by mail can pose challenges for overseas troops, especially at remote outposts with limited mail service.
