SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Members of the 932nd Airlift Wing are reminded, 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!

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.

"It's important to exercise your privilege and let your voice be heard in an open, democratic society, emphasizing the citizen side of the Citizen Airman," said Tech. Sgt. Dan Oliver, a 932nd Airlift Wing member who is volunteering to help in his district.
