With more of our troops being called to duty in Kosovo and Yugoslavia, the need for this legislation is more pressing than ever. Clark has actively pushed this legislation for three years. His office has worked with the Voting Assistance Program administered by the U.S. Department of Defense to draft the proposed legislation.
Military personnel stationed overseas often require special provisions in order to vote absentee.
Preparing absentee ballot applications, mailing ballots, and returning them to county officials in time is often impossible, Clark said. Clark's bill speeds delivery of ballots to military personnel and allows faxes back to their county Circuit Clerk's office. I hope the Governor will consider including this bill in any future calls for a special session. It's too important to wait.
