The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) is a federal law that requires states to allow certain voters who are absent from their county of residence to have special rights that provide an expedited means for them to register and vote by mail-in absentee ballot. The ballots must be mailed 45 days before federal elections.
On Feb. 12th, the Eleventh Circuit ruled that Alabama is breaking federal law by holding federal run-off primary elections only 42 days after the primary, instead of the 45 days that became law in 2009.
The case is U.S. v State of Alabama 14-11298.
