Military and Family Support Center

The Federal Voting Assistance Program provides Service Members, their eligible family members, and overseas citizens with tools and resources to successfully participate in national, state, and local elections from anywhere in the world.  

To get started, go to the FVAP website and select a state, U.S. territory, or the District of Columbia from the map to get information on the election calendar, election official contact information, state/local voting laws, etc. 

There is also an online Voting Assistance Guide that provides step by step information on how to register to vote, request a ballot, and cast your ballot for all 50 states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia.  The Voting Assistance Guide also provides contact information for your local election officials. 

If you have questions or need assistance with voting forms, please contact your Unit Voting Assistance Officer or M&FRC - ACS at 907-384-1517.

You can also visit the FVAP.GOV for more voting information.
