The purpose of this petition is to create an enforceable uniform law governing how states conduct voting during those elections when candidates are running for federal offices such as President/Vice President, Senate and House of Representatives. The intent is to eliminate differing and confusing standards which vary from state-to-state and even from precinct-to-precinct within individual states that affect situations like early voting periods, election day poll hours, absentee voting, types of acceptable voting equipment, back-up voting standards, and voter ID requirements. This federal law also is intended to remove state and local political influences from federal races' voting guidelines.
