 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer James Stillepeck. Despite being an off-year, there are still several important elections this year, and your vote is important. The Federal Voting Assistance Program, or FVAP, has the resources you need to vote. If you're stationed outside your voting jurisdiction, you can vote with an absentee ballot. You can register and request a ballot with an easy one-step process by submitting the Federal Postcard Application, or FPCA, online. Make sure to get your voter registration and absentee ballot requests in early. You must complete a new FPCA every year, every time you move, or at least 90 days before the election you want to vote in. Eligible spouses and dependents can vote absentee as well. Go to FVAP.gov and exercise your right, your privilege and responsibility as a citizen. Register to vote today.
