Hegseth Orders Military Voting Stand Down Day for Troops by Oct 15

US Politics5 days ago

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a mandate requiring all armed forces commanders to facilitate registration and ballot casting for personnel. Commanders must implement a Military Voting Stand Down Day no later than Oct 15 to allow service members to register and vote, and the directive notes that compliance with the order will be checked.

The measure is intended to ensure active-duty personnel can exercise their electoral rights. The order’s focus on voting is being presented as a shift from priorities under former Secretary Lloyd Austin, who previously allocated military time for training focused on extremism and the far-right.
