Uniform and jQuery's Form.Serialize() ignores checked checkboxes

I'm using jQuery 3.1.1 (the latest version as of this post) and the Uniform plugin (just including in case this matters - likely doesn't) to make checkboxes look nice.

I'm encountering the following:

1. Within a Form, I'm using MVC/Razor's CheckBoxFor to render a regular checkbox input and hidden additional input for the checkbox in addition to other inputs. This results in code like this:

   <input id="mycheckbox" name="mycheckbox" type="checkbox" value>

   <input name="mycheckbox" type="hidden" value>

2. For test purposes, I'm checking the box on the UI.

3. I verified that the checkbox input is now true (via $("#mycheckbox").prop("checked")) but the hidden input is false (same verification). I'm not sure if this is the culprit or not - in that case it may be a uniform issue.
4. When then calling $form.serialize() on that form, both inputs (checkbox and hidden) are serialized to nothing, meaning &mycheckbox=&mycheckbox=

So, two issues:

1. Somehow serialize() doesn't get that the regular checkbox input is checked
2. There is double-serialization, but I suppose serialize() is just grabbing all input's so this is probably fine.

How can I solve #1?
