President Donald Trump 's executive order aims to boost proof-of-citizenship requirements for military and overseas voters.

The military vote has long been seen as sacrosanct politically, and 1986 legislation that sought to clear some obstacles service members face passed with broad bipartisan support.

Critics say members of the military stationed away from their home states may not have easy access to the documents the order seeks to require for registering to vote.

The most common reason UOCAVA ballots are rejected is that they arrived after a state’s deadline to be counted.

Of the ballots cast by military members that were rejected in 2020 , almost half were thrown out for that reason.

Several states provide overseas and military voters extra time after Election Day for their mail-in ballots to arrive.
