Kirtland Air Force Base  Military and Family Support Center

The Federal Voting Assistance Program ensures service members, their eligible family members and overseas citizens have the tools and resources to register to vote and request an absentee ballot, regardless of their state of residence. The Voting Assistance Guide is a reference guide for everything you need to know about absentee voting in all 50 states, the U.S. territories and the District of Columbia. When navigating the website, first select your state to find your local election office’s contact information. Additionally, voting forms are also available online.

Units with 25 or more permanently assigned, active-duty service members have a unit voting assistance officer. Larger units will have additional UVAO for every additional 50 active-duty service members.

The Kirtland Air Force Base Installation Voting Assistance Office is located in the Airman and Family Readiness Flight in Suite 126 of the Consolidated Support Facility, Building 20245.
