Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Military Voters' Equal Access to
Voter Registration Act of 2009''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Members of the Armed Forces and their family members
(in this section referred to as ''military voters'') who have
sought to vote in recent elections for Federal office have had
substantial difficulty doing so, frequently resulting in the
disenfranchisement of such military voters.
(2) Due to the highly transient nature of military service
and frequent overseas deployments, military voters are
constantly on the move between military installations in the
United States and to and from overseas locations. As a result,
military voters are typically absent from their home voting
jurisdictions on election day and, if military voters wish to
exercise their right to vote, they must do so by absentee
ballot.
(3) In 1986, Congress enacted the Uniformed and Overseas
Citizens Absentee Voting Act (42 U.S.C. 1973ff et seq.) in an
attempt to permit military voters to register to vote and vote
by absentee ballot in all elections for Federal office.
Nevertheless, the absentee voting system, as created under such
Act, has consistently failed to ensure that military voters
actually receive their unmarked absentee ballots prior to
election day. Military voters continue to experience
substantial difficulty in registering to vote, updating their
voting addresses, and obtaining absentee ballots prior to
election day.
(4) In 1993, Congress enacted the National Voter
Registration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. 1973gg et seq.) to create a
national voter registration system, as well as to provide
citizens with increased opportunities to register to vote and
receive voting assistance. Such Act, however, failed to ensure
that military voters have the same access to voter registration
assistance as the civilian population, because their military
service typically takes them out of their home voting
jurisdictions, where they would otherwise be able to receive
such assistance, as required under such Act.
(5) The Inspector General of the Department of Defense has
found that military voters do not receive adequate information
and assistance to register to vote and request an absentee
ballot. In a survey following the 2004 election, the Inspector
General found that only 40 to 50 percent of members of the
Armed Forces, and a lesser percentage of their dependents,
received voting information or assistance prior to the
election. The Inspector General reached a similar conclusion
after the 2006 election, finding that less than 40 percent of
military voters received voting information and assistance.
(6) Millions of military voters have been disenfranchised
as a result of the current system's inability to provide them
with voting information and assistance. A Department of Defense
study conducted by the Defense Manpower Data Center found that,
in the 2006 election for Federal office, only 22 percent of
military voters were able to successfully vote, by either
casting an absentee ballot or voting in person--which
represents approximately one-half of the percentage of the
overall national population that voted in such election. A
separate study by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission found
that, in such election, only a small fraction of military
voters were able to request an absentee ballot. The Election
Assistance Commission study further showed that, even when
military voters were able to request a ballot, a significant
percentage of the ballots requested never reached the military
voters who requested them, having been sent to outdated
addresses from which the military voters had since moved.
(7) Preliminary data from the 2008 Presidential election
shows little or no improvement. According to statistics
collected from 5 of the 6 States with the largest number of
military voters, only 21.9 percent of all eligible military
voters in those States were able to request absentee ballots.
Once again, many ballots were sent to outdated addresses and
did not reach the intended military voters.
(8) The ability of military voters to participate in the
democratic process would be significantly improved through more
robust efforts by the Armed Forces to provide such voters with
pertinent voting information and effective assistance when they
need it most--when their address changes as a result of
reassignment to a new duty station or overseas deployment. The
Armed Forces, in so doing, would dramatically increase the
ability of military voters to request and obtain absentee
ballots, and they would also help ensure that local election
officials have the most current address of military voters in
order to send absentee ballots to such voters.
