Automatic military draft registration

The legislation mandates that all men between the ages of 18 and 25 be automatically enrolled using existing federal and state records.

While there is no current active draft, critics have expressed concern that the move could be a precursor to future conscription.

The administration maintains that the update is purely administrative and intended to replace the outdated manual registration process.

The timing of the rollout has also drawn scrutiny amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
