JBER Voters,

2018 is over and a new year has begun. Now is a great time to get ready for the 2020 election! Even if you are already registered to vote in your registered state you should fill out and send in a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).

Voting assistance for Service members, their families, and overseas citizens is easier now than ever before! Voter registration and absentee ballot applications can be completed by simply using the Federal Voting Assistance Program's online voting assistance wizard: https://www.fvap.gov.

Most States require completion of a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to start the absentee voting process. The FPCA acts as both a registration and absentee ballot request form. The Federal Voting Assistance Program encourages military voters to submit a new FCPA every January and each time they move.

It only takes a few quick steps to make sure your vote is counted - no matter where you are in the world. Complete an FPCA today by accessing the online version at https://www.fvap.gov/election-materials, picking up a hardcopy version from your unit's designated voting assistance officer, or the Log Cabin Building 8535 Wewak Drive JBER, and by using Federal Voting Assistance Program's online voter registration wizard: https://www.fvap.gov/military-voter/registration-ballots.

For additional information or assistance with completing your FPCA, speak with your unit's designated voting assistance officer or contact our JBER Voting Assistance office: vote.jber@us.af.mil or phone: 552-VOTE (8683).
