Book Description
The Soldier Vote tells the story of how Americans in the armed forces gained the right to vote while away from home. The ability for deployed military personnel to cast a ballot was difficult and often vociferously resisted by politicians of both political parties. While progress has been made, significant challenges remain. Using newly obtained data about the military voter, The Soldier Vote challenges some widely held views about the nature of the military vote and how service personnel vote.

Book Description
We sought to assess whether states are providing military and overseas civilian voters with enough time to vote and have their votes counted. We looked at the three groups of voters covered under UOCAVA: civilians living overseas; military personnel stationed in the United States and their dependents; and military personnel stationed abroad and their dependents. We analyzed whether four particular policy options would benefit the 25 states and the District of Columbia that need to improve their voting process for military absentee voters. Our analysis shows that all four policy options can help, although not every reform is right for every state.

Book Description
I am pleased to be here today to discuss the status and results to date of our ongoing work for this Committee on military and overseas citizens absentee voting. This effort is part of a broad body of work we are doing to help Congress assess the need for changes in the procedures and equipment used to administer federal elections. As you know, the 2000 presidential election brought to light concerns about a number of issues, including the reliability of voting machines, training of polling place workers, and the extent to which local jurisdictions accepted votes from members of the military and civilians living overseas. As requested by the Committee, we are reviewing programs and policies in place to assist military and overseas citizens in voting. Our work includes site visits and interviews at state and county government offices, military installations in the U.S. and overseas, and U.S. embassies and consulates. We plan to summarize the results of this work in a report to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees in September 2001. That report will contain a more detailed description of our work, along with our conclusions and any appropriate recommendations.
