Voting Assistance Guide Table of Contents

Sources of Assistance:
Absentee voting information in this Guide is current through September 2003. Procedures or primary election dates that change after publication will be updated through the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) World Wide Web site at www.fvap.gov as they are received. These changes are also disseminated by voting news releases distributed to voting assistance personnel in all Federal government departments and agencies with voting assistance programs. The same channels are used to disseminate information about special and other elections.

In addition, the Voting Information Center (VIC) provides a 24 hour recorded service with information on current and upcoming elections, recorded messages from incumbent U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, State Governors and State Chief Election Officials. Approximately thirty days prior to an election, messages from Congressional and Gubernatorial candidates are also available. The VIC telephone numbers are (800) 438-8683, (703) 588-1343 or DSN 425-1343. The VIC can also be called toll-free from overseas on any of the numbers listed on the inside back cover.

Each Military Department, the Coast Guard, and the Department of State has a Voting Action Officer to assist installation and unit Voting Assistance Officers and Embassy/Consulate Voting Assistance Officers with any questions or problems they may have concerning voting.
