Expressing the sense of Congress that the votes of overseas servicemembers must be counted and honored as required under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act.

This resolution expresses Congress's view that absentee ballots from U.S. military members and citizens living abroad must be fully counted in all federal, state, and local elections, consistent with existing federal law. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), enacted in 1986, already requires states to accept and count military absentee ballots, but servicemembers stationed overseas face real obstacles — including mail delays and operational demands — that can interfere with timely ballot return. Congress calls on states and territories to prioritize processing these ballots and urges the Attorney General to monitor compliance and act against violations. The resolution is non-binding — it expresses Congress's position without creating new legal penalties — but reaffirms the federal government's commitment to protecting servicemember voting rights.
