The Veterans Affairs Department has decided not to ban voter registration drives at VA facilities, the New York Times reports today.

Earlier this year, VA officials issued a policy prohibiting such drives, saying they would violate the ban on political activity in the federal workplace. The reversal comes after members of Congress said they would introduce legislation to overturn the policy.

 

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
