Program Helps Military Voters

Week of August 23, 2010

All 50 states, three territories and the District of Columbia will hold general elections Nov. 2. Those residing outside the U.S. who have not registered or requested an absentee ballot this year should do so as soon as possible by using the Federal Post Card Application. Visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website, and follow the prompts to register and request an absentee ballot for the Nov. 2 election. Some states allow submitting the FPCA by email or fax, in addition to regular mail. The instructions will tell you how to fax or email the form. You can also obtain a FPCA from your unit or installation voting assistance officer.
