While many Coast Guard military members and their families will be far
from home on Election Days, they will be able to cast their votes -- thanks
to absentee ballots and the Coast Guard's Voting Assistance Program.
The Voting Assistance Guide and your Command Voting Assistance Officer can
assist you with registering and requesting a ballot using the Federal
Postcard Application (FPCA) Standard Form 76. Completing the FPCA and
sending it to your local voting jurisdiction is all it takes.
The best time to apply for an absentee ballot is more than 45 days before
the election.
In most states, ballots are mailed to voters 20 days before the election.
Remember, every vote counts. You are a part of this nation's way of life by
exercising your right to vote!
