Overseas GI voting bill advances
DENVER – A bill making it easier for overseas military personnel to vote was quickly approved Tuesday by the State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee in the Colo. House. ‘House Bill 1149 would allow commissioned officers to sign absentee-ballot applications for registered Colorado voters stationed overseas.’ Soldiers must cast an actual vote but someone else can do the paperwork. The measure is especially important to special forces who are in outlying areas. There are hopes the bill’s passage will spur other state to pass similar legislation.
