Committee on House Administration Takes Up
Military Voting Protection (MVP) Act, Introduced by Rep. McCarthy

WASHINGTON – Today, the Committee on House Administration, led by Chairman Robert Brady, D-Pa., and Ranking Republican Dan Lungren, R-Calif., favorably reported H.R. 2393, the Military Voting Protection (MVP) Act, to the House for consideration. The bill was reported as reintroduced in the 111th Congress by the Committee’s Subcommittee on Elections Ranking Member Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.  The markup of the MVP Act comes on the heels of a hearing held by the Subcommittee on Elections on May 21, 2009, concerning “Military and Overseas Voting.”  That hearing highlighted significant shortfalls in the conveyance of ballots from uniformed service members overseas.
