UOCAVA AMENDMENT: S 1728/ HR 3576SENTRI ACT
Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) request for an absentee ballot is valid through the next regularly scheduled general election for Federal office unless:
Voter is removed due to changing registration in accordance with the NVRA
Ballot is returned as undeliverable
It would appear that this could stop states from cancelling
UOCAVA voter’s registrations at the end of the FPCA period, but still working on getting that
language clarified.
