Absentee Voter Details
"The Navy Voting Assistance Program is here to assist every Sailor and family member who is eligible to vote," said Lt. Jason Watkins, Navy Voting Assistance Program manager, Commander, Navy Installations Command, Millington Detachment.
"It's very important for voters to register as an absentee voter with their local election offices early and to receive their absentee ballot in time to vote in the November election," said Watkins.
Specific information regarding registration and absentee ballot request form deadlines is located in the 2008-2009 Voting Assistance Guide, as well as online at the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) Web site www.fvap.gov, under "State by State Instructions."
"Sailors should contact their local election offices or command voting assistance officer immediately when they do not receive their ballots in a timely manner," emphasized Watkins.
Generally, all U.S. citizens 18 years or older who are or will be residing outside the United States during an election period are eligible to vote absentee in any election for federal office. In addition, all members of the uniformed services and their family members who are U.S. citizens may vote absentee in federal, state and local elections.
Once filled out and mailed to the applicant's local voting official in their state of residence, the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) acts as a request for absentee ballots for any elections to be held that year. The FPCA is available to all U.S. citizens from local voting assistance officers and the FVAP Web site.
"The FPCA should be completed and submitted every year," added Watkins. "Not only does it act as an absentee ballot request form, but it also informs the local voting election official of the Sailor's current mailing address and confirms voter registration."
