Stars and Stripes reports that the Pentagon's Federal Voting Assistance Program website offers a range of resources and easily guides voters through the absentee ballot process. The Military Postal Service Agency and the U.S. Postal Service will again offer free express mail for completed absentee ballots in 2012. Troops serving overseas can express mail their ballots from any military post office, U.S. Consulate or embassy by asking for Express Mail Label 11-DOD, and can then track their ballot via usps.com. The website of the Overseas Vote Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy group for Americans voting overseas, offers easy-to-use tools, and also has a website for the military.
