About the Military Voter Protection Project

The right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights of American democracy. It has been defended for well over 200 years by the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform. Yet, when it comes to their right to vote—our military members’ right to choose the next Commander in Chief or their elected representatives—their voices have long been silenced by an electoral process that has failed them. That silence was most evident in the 2008 election when thousands of absentee military ballots were never received by the military voter or received after the election. The Legacy Foundation’s MVP Project is here to defend our military members’ right to vote and to provide them with the very right that they defend. Learn more about our mission.
