Chairman Miller Reaffirms Commitment to Military and Overseas Voting

Statement

Committee on House Administration Chairman Candice Miller, R-Mich., issued the following statement regarding today's hearing on military and overseas voting in the 2012 election:

"I am cautiously optimistic about the recent Department of Defense findings that demonstrate a modest increase in the percentage of military personnel voting. It appears that the combined efforts of the Department of Defense and state election officials, both supported by federal legislation, are advancing our most worthy responsibility of helping our troops participate in the very democratic process they risk life and limb to protect.

"We will continue to carefully monitor the implementation of the MOVE Act and, working with state and federal officials, explore new ways and technologies that facilitate and expedite voting for our brave soldiers serving overseas."
