Military voting bill passes first House committee
The military voting bill, HB 30, unanimously passed the Constitution and Elections Committee of the Alabama House of Representatives.
The legislation would give members of the military four additional ways other than the US Postal Service to obtain their ballot. These methods include: commercial carriers such as FedEx and UPS, a secure fax line, email and secure electronic transmission. The bill will also authorize those overseas voters to return their ballots using any of those methods except electronic transmission.
