Secretary of State Jim Condos has been selected to serve on the Council of State Governments’ policy committee to review oversees and military voter initiatives. CGS is a national, nonpartisan, non-profit that works within all three branches of government.
In response to his selection and the committees work, Secretary Condos commented: “Guaranteeing the constitutionally protected right to vote for our military and oversees voters has been a long time concern of mine. As Secretary of State, I have worked with Vermont legislators to improve our process within the state. Sometimes, there are changes that are more appropriate, however, to be made on a national level – not state-by-state – such as the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act; this appointment will bring Vermont’s voice to the table.”
