The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a study of the feasibility of the creation of a system of automatic voter registration for members of the uniformed services upon enlistment or receiving commission, as well as the creation of a system to automatically update the address of absent members of the uniformed services for voter registration purposes upon any change of address for such member, including an assessment of the feasibility and costs of— using information already collected as part of the enlistment or commission process for purposes of voter registration, including whether such information is sufficient for States to register an individual to vote, and if not, what other information would need to be collected as part of the enlistment and commission process to enable this process; using information already collected as part of the enlistment or commission process for purposes of updating voter registration information for existing registrants, including whether such information is sufficient for States to update an existing registration, and if not, what other information would need to be collected as part of the enlistment or commission process to enable this process; and electronically transmitting such voter registration information to chief State election officials.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, and make publicly available, a report on the study conducted under subsection (a).
