Military voting bill passes Alabama House

A bill expanding voting options for military members and overseas citizens has passed the Alabama House of Representatives.

The bill, HB 30, passed 96-0 on Tuesday and now goes to the Senate.

The bill would give military and overseas voters four ways to obtain a ballot other than the US Postal Service. These other methods include: commercial carriers such as UPS and Fed Ex, a secure fax line, email, and secure electronic transmission. The bill will also authorize overseas voters to return their ballots using those same means except through electronic transmission.
