True or False: The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) already provides extended deadlines for military and overseas ballots, but these protections could be questioned if the Court rules for the RNC.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) provides extended deadlines for military and overseas voters to account for international mail delays. However, if the Supreme Court rules that federal election-day statutes require all ballots to be received by Election Day, even UOCAVA's protections could be questioned or challenged. The case affects approximately 6.5 million eligible American voters living, serving, and studying overseas. Nineteen states warned that the Fifth Circuit's rule "jeopardizes the ability of states to count lawfully cast ballots from military service members and their families who are stationed abroad."
