Use of post cards; waiver of registration; voting by discharged persons

§ 1076. Use of post cards; waiver of registration; voting by discharged persons (a) To avoid expense, duplication of effort, and loss of time, it is recommended that, when the post card request for an absentee ballot is executed by a person covered by section 1074 of this title, the State concerned accept it as— (1) an application for an absentee ballot under its absentee voting laws; (2) an application for registration under its election laws; and (3) a source of information to implement its absentee voting laws. (b) It is further recommended that each State— (1) waive registration for each person covered by section 1074 of this title whose service prevents him from registering; and (2) provide an opportunity to vote in an election for each person who would be eligible to register and vote at that election but for the fact that he was discharged honorably or under honorable conditions from the armed forces too late to register.
