Subsection (a)(8) of section 102 of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1973ff–1 ) is amended by striking voter— and all that follows in that subsection and inserting voter by the date and in the manner determined under subsection (g); . Subsection
(g)of such section is amended to read as follows: For purposes of subsection (a)(8), in a case in which a valid request for an absentee ballot is received at least 46 days before an election for Federal office, the following rules shall apply: The State shall transmit the absentee ballot not later than 46 days before the election. If the State fails to transmit any absentee ballot by the 46th day before the election as required by subparagraph
(A)and the absent uniformed services voter or overseas voter did not request electronic ballot transmission pursuant to subsection (f), the State shall transmit such ballot by express delivery. If the State fails to transmit any absentee ballot by the 41st day before the election, in addition to transmitting the ballot as provided in clause (i), the State shall— in the case of absentee ballots requested by absent uniformed services voters with respect to regularly scheduled general elections, notify such voters of the procedures established under section 103A for the collection and delivery of marked absentee ballots; and in any other case, provide, at the State’s expense, for the return of such ballot by express delivery. A State’s compliance with this subparagraph does not bar the Attorney General from seeking additional remedies necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act. For purposes of subsection (a)(8), in a case in which a valid request for an absentee ballot is received less than 46 days before an election for Federal office, the State shall transmit the absentee ballot within one business day of receipt of the request. .
