I received this in an email from www.overseasvote2004.com

Dear Overseas Voter,
It�s time for YOU to check that you are on the electoral rolls.
If you haven't received your ballot, or if you think there may have been a problem with
your voter registration/absentee ballot request, you should act now to verify that you
are on the electoral rolls.
We propose 2 methods for this: one local and one federal. With the unprecedented overseas
voter registration levels, the FVAP* resources are stretched thin; therefore, you may
wish to start at the local level when confirming your registration.
1. Contact your local election official. These websites can help you locate the contact information:
http://www.vote-smart.org/voter_county_election_offices.php
or
http://www.fvap.gov/links/statelinks.html
OR
2. Send an email to [email protected] requesting confirmation that you are on the rolls.
Include:
* your name
* last U.S. residence address
* birth date
* last 4 digits of your social security number
* and a request for the Federal Write-In Ballot
If any of the following apply, you have even more reason to request the confirmation.
If you,
* are a first time voter
* have never lived in the US
* could not remember your complete address
* did not have any of the identification requested by your state
* are from a �swing state�
* mailed your form prior to the state primary, but did not receive a primary ballot
Act now � there is no time to waste!
The Overseas Vote 2004 Team
* Federal Voter Assistance Program
** The Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot is an emergency �back-up� ballot to use if you do not
receive your official absentee ballot in time. Detailed information about the Federal Write-In
Absentee Ballot will be available on www.overseasvote2004.com as of Monday, Sep. 27, 2004.
You�ll see the link at the end of every screen.

Thanks for the info.
I read somwhere that if you don't receive an absentee ballot by October 2nd, there may be a problem.

The courthouse where I am registered won't even receive their
ballots from the government until October, so I don't know about that. It probably varies by state. The general idea is to mail in your vote a month ahead of the actual election, but I don't know how specifically states require that.
(I hate using snail mail for anything!!!!! Get in the new century people!) |
