2012-13 Voting Assistance Guide How to Vote Absentee

Chapter 1HOW TO VOTE ABSENTEE

Can You Vote Absentee?In order to vote in U.S. elections, you must be:

— a citizen of the United States on the date of theelection in which you wish to vote, and

— at least 18 years old on Election Day. (SomeStates allow 17-year-olds to vote in primaryelections if they will be 18 on or before thegeneral election.)

The absentee voting process in this book applies to you ifyou are:

— an active duty member of the U.S. UniformedServices or Merchant Marine,

— a family member (spouse or dependent)

— a U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S.

States that have adopted the UniformMilitary and OverseasVoters Act (UMOVA) has expanded the definition ofUniformed Services to include members of the NationalGuard. It also included U.S. citizens born abroad who havenot established a voting residency in the United States.This is in addition to other States that provide this coverage.UMOVA and State information confirming the eligibility ofNational Guard members, U.S. citizens born abroad whohave not established a voting residency in the United Statesand other U.S. citizens traveling abroad or temporarilyliving overseas, is available in the State pages in Chapter 2.

If you are not one of the above but will be away from yourpolling place on Election Day, you may still be able to voteabsentee according to your State’s absentee votingguidelines. Contact your election office or check your Stateelection website for more information. State websites andlocal election office addresses are available in your State’spages in Chapter 2.

How Do You Vote Absentee? Step 1: Register and Request Your AbsenteeBallot

You must register and request an absentee ballot in yourState of legal residence by completing a Federal Post CardApplication (FPCA) according to your State or territory’s

specific instructions and submitting it to your local electionoffice.

In most States and territories, one FPCA can be used torequest ballots for primary and general elections for Federaloffices (President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S.Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner). Youshould submit a new FPCA each year and whenever youchange your mailing address.

The FPCA:

can be completed using our automated assistant atwww.fvap.gov, along with a pre-paid envelopetemplate for submitting by mail.

is available at military bases, U.S. embassies andconsulates, election organizations, and corporationsworldwide.

is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system,including APO and FPO addresses, and throughdiplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies andconsulates. If submitting the FPCA from outside theUnited States using a foreign mail service, you mustaffix proper postage and include “USA” in the mailingaddress.

may be sent using private courier services. However,they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and mayrequire the physical address of your local electionoffice.

Many States and territories allow you to return your FPCAby email or fax. Consult your State’s pages in Chapter 2 tosee what your State allows.

The FPCA and mailing instructions are illustrated on pages4-5.

Step 2: Your Election Official Processes YourFederal Post Card Application (FPCA) and SendsYou a Blank Ballot

Your local election official will process your FPCA todetermine if you meet the jurisdiction’s residencyrequirements and will decide which ballot to send you.Your local election official will contact you if there are anyquestions or if your application has been denied. Therefore,i t is important to provide your complete contactinformation, including your email address, on your FPCA.

You should contact your local election office with questionson the status of your FPCA. Some States have voterregistration verification websites where you can find yourvoter registration status. Links to these sites and contactinformation for local election officials can be found atwww.fvap.gov.

Step 3: Vote Your State Ballot or Use the Back-UpFederal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)

Vote and return your State ballot as soon as you receive it. Ifyou have registered and requested your ballot by yourState’s request deadline (or at least 30 days before theelection, whichever is later), you may use the FederalWrite-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) any time before theelection.

Your completed FWAB must be received by your localelection office by the deadline for receipt of State absenteeballots for that election.

In most cases you can only use the FWAB to vote forFederal offices. Some States have expanded the use of theFWAB to include voting for offices other than Federaloffices. Some States have also expanded the use of theFWAB for registration and ballot request. Consult yourState’s pages in Chapter 2 to see what your State allows.

The FWAB consists of:

— Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot Instructions

— Voter’s Declaration/Affirmation

— Official Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot withSecurity Envelope attached

— Mailing Envelope

To complete your FWAB, follow your State’s instructionsin Chapter 2. Once finished, place your voted ballot insidethe security envelope and seal it. Do not write on theoutside of the security envelope. Place the securityenvelope, along with the Voter’s Declaration/Affirmation,inside the mailing envelope.

The FWAB:

can be completed using our automated assistant atwww.fvap.gov, along with a pre-paid envelopetemplate for submitting by mail.

is available in a fillable PDF form at www.fvap.gov.This version of the FWAB does not contain the securityor the mailing envelope; however, you may use twoplain envelopes: mark one as the security envelope anduse the other as a mailing envelope. You may use theonline prepaid envelope template as the mailingenvelope.

is available at military bases, U.S. embassies andconsulates, election organizations, and corporationsworldwide.

is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system,including APO and FPO addresses and throughdiplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies andconsulates. If submitting the FWAB from outside theUnited States using a foreign mail service, you mustaffix proper postage and include “USA” in the mailingaddress.

may be sent using private courier services. However,they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and mayrequire the physical address of your local electionoffice.

Many States and territories allow you to return your FWABby email or fax. Consult your State’s pages in Chapter 2 tosee what your State allows.

If you receive your State absentee ballot after you havesubmitted the FWAB, you should vote and return that ballotimmediately. If the State absentee ballot arrives by yourState’s deadline, the State will count that ballot instead ofthe FWAB.

The FWAB and mailing instructions are illustrated on pages6-9.

Serve as coordinator for FVAP on-site workshops ifone is scheduled for your installation.

Conduct non-partisan voter registration drives. ArmedForces Voters Week, Overseas Citizens Voters Week,and Absentee Voting Week are excellent times to getthe word out .

How You Can Assist VotersDetermining Voting Residency

To vote in U.S. elections, citizens must have a legal votingresidence address in a State or territory. The issue of votingresidence can be complex, depending on individualcircumstances. Even in States where laws clearly definecriteria for determining voting residence, the finaldetermination is generally up to each local election office.

For voting purposes, "legal voting residence" can be thestate or territory where the citizen last resided prior toentering military service OR the state or territory that thecitizen has since claimed as their legal residence.

Even though the citizen may no longer maintain formal tiesto that residence, the address determines their proper votingjurisdiction. To claim a new legal residence, the citizenmust have simultaneous physical presence and the intent toreturn to that location as their primary residence.

Military and their family members may change their legalresidence every time they change permanent duty stations,or they may retain their legal residence without change.

Guide for Voting Assistance Officers 2012-13 Voting Assistance Guide

362

This may mean that the family's Uniformed Servicemember has a different legal voting residence than his/herfamily members.

A Judge Advocate General officer or legal counsel shouldbe consulted before the citizen changes legal residence,because there are usually other factors that should beconsidered besides voting.

Asking citizens the following questions may helpadvise them on voting residence:

— Where have you registered to vote or voted?

— What State or territory has issued you a driver’slicense, any other license or identification card?

— Where is your motor vehicle registered?

— Where is your home or home of record?

— What State or territory are you from?

— Where did you live before coming here?

— Where did you live immediately before leavingthe United States?

— Where does your family live?

— Where do your parents live?

— Where do you own property?

— What State do you claim for tax residency?

Assisting Citizens to Complete theFederal Post Card Application (FPCA)

The FPCA can be used by military and overseas citizens tosimultaneously register to vote and request an absenteeballot. As a VAO, you should help citizens correctlycomplete their FPCAs if requested. Local election officialsdetermine the citizen’s eligibility to vote based oninformation provided on this application. Citizens shouldinclude all contact information (email, telephone, fax, and/or mailing address) on their FPCA and submit it earlyenough for election officials to contact them shouldproblems processing the application arise.

If you are sending FPCAs for several citizens by email orfax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for eachform and send separately to ensure that each form isreceived by the proper election official. Email addressesand fax numbers can be found on the State’s electionwebsite or at www.fvap.gov.

Check that FPCAs Include:

— Signature and date

— Complete voting residence address (no P.O. Boxaddresses)

— Legible handwriting

— All information required by the State

— Party preference if the citizen wants to vote inprimary elections (if required by State)

— Witness signature (if required by State)

Also, be sure that the citizen mails the FPCA to their localelection official in time to be received by the Stateregistration and/or absentee ballot request deadline.

Assisting Citizens to Complete theFederal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)

The FWAB is available to military and overseas citizenswho have requested but have not received their Stateabsentee ballot in time to vote and return it before thedeadline. To use the FWAB, citizens must have applied fora State ballot early enough so that their local election officereceived the request at least 30 days before the election orbefore the State’s ballot request deadline, whichever is later.

The FWAB may be used to vote for Federal offices(Pres iden t /Vice Pres iden t , U .S . Sena to r, U .S .Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner) inprimary, general, special, or runoff elections. Some Stateshave expanded the use of the FWAB and accept the FWABfor voting for State and local offices, or allow the FWAB tobe used for voter registration and ballot request.

If you are sending FWABs for several citizens by email orfax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for eachballot and send separately to ensure that each ballot isreceived by the proper election official. Email addressesand fax numbers can be found on the State’s electionwebsite, available in the State’s pages in Chapter 2 or atwww.fvap.gov.

Tips for Using the FWAB:

Citizens who have not received a requested Stateballot in time to return it before the election shouldimmediately complete and submit the FWAB to theirlocal election office.

The FWAB must be received by the local electionoffice no later than the ballot return deadline.

The transmittal envelope must be signed and dated,(and the witness or signature must be included ifrequired by State).

If citizens receive their State absentee ballot aftersubmitting the FWAB, they should vote and return theballot immediately. If the State absentee ballot arrivesby the ballot return deadline, the State will count theState absentee ballot instead of the FWAB.

Legal GuidelinesVAOs may not provide partisan voting information fromcandidates, political parties, or partisan organizations.Military VAOs may receive questions from votersregarding whether they can distribute and/or displaypartisan materials at the military installations. VAOs

2012-13 Voting Assistance Guide Guide for Voting Assistance Officers

363

should consult their Commanding Officer for theirinterpretation of DoD Directive 1344.10 PoliticalActivities by Members of the Armed Forces on ActiveDuty, available at www.fvap.gov.

VAOs should report any irregularities in the voting processto their department or agency headquarter’s VAO. Federallyemployed VAOs should refer to the Hatch Act, Title 5U.S.C. Sec. 7321, link available at: www.fvap.gov.

VAOs can advise citizens on locating information oncandidates and issues using national, local, and Servicenewspapers, magazines, radio, television, political partyand campaign committee offices, overseas newspapers andperiodicals, and State election websites.

Continuity FolderVAOs should create and maintain a Continuity Folder forpersonal reference and for passing on to future VAOs.

It should provide basic details on absentee votingprocedures and contain anything that may help your backupor successor. Your folder should also provide a quickorientation of VAO voting responsibilities. It can be in theform of a notebook, file folder, or an online communityfolder. Make sure it is readily available to other VAOs andassistants.

Your Continuity Folder Should Contain:

Your VAO Designation Letter (only Military VAOs)

FPCAs and FWABs

Only certainStates allows U.S. citizens who have never resided in theUnited States to vote. For more information, go to: http://www.fvap.gov.

Do I have to be registered to vote absentee?

Registration requirements vary from state to state. Moststates and territories require registration to vote absentee.Voter registration and absentee ballot request can be done atthe same time by submitting the Federal Post CardApplication (FPCA). If you are already registered to voteand only wish to request a ballot, you should submit yourFPCA as soon as possible.

Where do I send my Voter Registration/AbsenteeBallot Request?

Your Voter Registration/Absentee Ballot request form mustbe completed, printed, signed, dated and mailed directly toyour local election official. These officials will handle theprocessing and distribution of your absentee ballots andmay need to contact you for further information orclarification. To facilitate this process, please provide acurrent email address, phone and fax number on yourapplication.

When mailing election materials to my state orterritory, do I have to pay postage?

When mailed from any U.S. post office, U.S. embassy orconsulate, or APO/FPO mail facility, the hardcopy voterregistration/absentee ballot form is postage-paid. In order toreceive free postage, the online version of the form must bemailed in an envelope printed with our postage-paidenvelope template. You may mail the completed form in anenvelope with proper postage affixed. Ensure that yourform is postmarked (see postmarking instructions below)and sent to arrive before your state's specific deadline. Youmust pay postage if the materials are mailed from a non-U.S. postal facility.

It is recommended that voted ballots be mailed from yourlocation outside the U.S. rather than be given to anotherindividual to be placed in the U.S. postal system. If theballot is postmarked from any location inside the U.S. yourlocal election official may not count your ballot.

What is a postmark andhow do I make sure I getone?

A postmark is a postal marking made on a piece of mailindicating the date and time that the item was accepted bythe postal service. Postmarks are used to determine if votingmaterials have been mailed by state deadlines. Due tovarying mail pick up times, the day you 'mail' your electionmail may not be the day the postal facility postmarks it.

You may ask the mail clerk to hand stamp the electionmaterial so that a date is clearly visible. In certain situationsa handwritten postmark and signature from you or anotarizing official may be sufficient.

When is the best time to apply for an absenteeballot?

We recommend that you register to vote/request an absenteeballot in January of each year, or at least 45 days beforeElection Day.

Must I submit a separate application for eachelection?

A citizen usually does not need to submit a separateapplication for each election. To ensure that you receiveabsentee ballots for all elections in which you are eligible tovote, we recommend that you submit a new Federal PostCard Application in January of each year and whenever youhave a new mailing address. If you are requesting anabsentee ballot for a specific election, note in Block 9 theelection for which you are requesting the ballot, i.e.,“Primary (or Special, or General) election only”.

Refer to the individual State Pages in Chapter 2 foraddit ional information about State and Terri toryrequirements.

When should I receive my ballot? What happens ifI do not receive a ballot from my local electionoffice?

States and territories begin mailing ballots at least 45 daysbefore an election.

— Be absent from your voting residence;

— Have applied for a regular ballot early enough sothe request is received by the appropriate localelection official not later than the State deadline;
