Hospitalized veterans can get voting help

A change in policy will enable veterans in VA facilities to vote.

The ''VA’s Veterans Health Administration requires the agency to help patients unable to leave a facility in registering to vote and voting by absentee ballot...

VA will use volunteers rather than paid workers to provide the voting assistance.

Before any VA worker or volunteer can help a veteran, they must read and sign a document that explains they may perform only nonpartisan activities.' [Army Times]
