Don't wait until it's too late - make sure your vote counts!

  • Published
NIAGARA FALLS AIR RESERVE STATION, N.Y. --  The November 6th general election is just around the corner. For those military members that vote by absentee ballot you must act NOW to make sure that you will have an opportunity to have your vote counted.

If you have already registered but have not received a State ballot for the November 6th General Election go to FVAP.gov and use the back-up, Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). For each office listed, select or write-in either a candidate's name or their party designation. If you receive your State ballot after submitting the FWAB, vote and return the State ballot as well. You will only receive one vote as the State will only count your FWAB if the State ballot is not received by the deadline. If your State ballot is received, by the deadline, your State ballot will be counted and the FWAB will be disregarded.

Remember: don't wait until your State deadline to return your ballot; mail delivery times vary from location to location and it may take extra time for your ballot to get from your location to your State. Visit FVAP.gov to view your state deadlines and recommending mailing dates and return your ballot today! http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media/2012_ballot_mailing_days.pdf

If you haven't registered yet but want to vote, please check the deadline for your State at www.fvap.gov/map.html. It's not too late in a number of States.

If you are currently stationed in your voting jurisdiction, you will need to contact your local election office, http://www.fvap.gov/shortcuts/wheresendfpca.html, if you have any questions regarding voting at the polls on November 6th.

Have questions? Contact FVAP's call center at 1-800-438-VOTE, available 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday - Friday. You can also email vote@fvap.gov or visit FVAP.gov for live chat assistance. And, don't forget about your Unit Voting Assistance Officer and your Installation Voter Assistance (IVA) Office, http://www.fvap.gov/contact/ivaoffice/index.html. If you can't reach your IVA Office, contact the call center.
