Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been tasked by the president to oversee the proper counting of military votes in the upcoming election. In light of this responsibility, Hegseth has ordered a military-wide stand-down for one day in October. This decision aims to provide armed forces personnel with the opportunity to either submit a mail-in ballot or vote in person.
The announcement underscores the importance of ensuring that the voices of military members are heard and counted during the election process.
Hegseth made this statement during his State of the Force address in Virginia, emphasizing the administration’s commitment to secure and transparent elections.
