What’s happening with Military VOTE Act?
The Military VOTE Act is H.R. 8441 and has been in the House Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Armed Services since April 21, 2026. Committee leaders must schedule a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails because committees choose not to act on it. This bill follows a similar path to H.R. 10064, which expired in the previous session without receiving a committee vote.
