NAVY TRANSITION PROGRAM PRE-SEPARATION Voting Assistance I Just would like to let you know that I’m here to ensure that you and your family have a smooth transition to the Civilian sector. It is very important for us that you are successful after the navy, not only because you have serve your country but because you were part of our family and we want you to say good things about our navy team. 1

Importance of voting Right Privilege Responsibility Voting Assistance is consider a fairly new item in the 2648 Why is voting important? ◾all eligible American voters, regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, the language they speak, or the resources of the community in which they live, should have an equal opportunity to cast a vote and to have that vote counted. A citizen's vote is a secret ballot. Voting is the most important exercise a citizen will do as a responsible citizen of a democratic nation. In a functioning democracy, being able to vote allows citizens to express their political opinions by voting a particular policy or candidate that has your best interest in mind 2

It is the law Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) 52 USC Ch. 203: REGISTRATION AND VOTING BY ABSENT UNIFORMED SERVICES VOTERS AND OVERSEAS VOTERS IN ELECTIONS FOR FEDERAL OFFICE 20 pages Section H - "Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act". 18 pages

While on active duty You are cover under Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) Who is cover under the UOCAVA? The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) The Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE) amended UOCAVA by providing greater protections for Service Members, their eligible family members and other overseas citizens. Among other provisions, the MOVE Act requires States to send absentee ballots to UOCAVA voters at least 45 days before federal elections. Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) If you don’t receive your ballot use The FWAB (SF 186) 4

As you transition back to civilian life No longer Cover under UOCAVA. Staying in the same voting residence Moving to a new State or county after separation you will no longer be covered by the UOCAVA. You and your eligible family members should notify your local election official of your change in voter registration status and update your information to vote locally. You may do this in either one or two easy steps.

Staying in the same voting residence 1. Notify your election official of your change in status. A sample letter: http://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/VAO/staying_template.docx If you have voted absentee or locally and are staying in the same voting residence after separation: Additional information about registering to vote locally can be found on your State/Territory Election websites (http://www.fvap.gov/links).

Moving to a new State or county after separation 1. Notify your election official of your change in status. A sample letter: http://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/VAO/staying_template.docx 2. Complete a National Voter Registration Form to register as a civilian. Website: http://www.eac.gov/ If you will be remaining or moving abroad after separation from the military, you will be covered by UOCAVA as an overseas citizen instead of in your military capacity. You can find additional information on voting assistance for Service members, their families and overseas citizens http://www.fvap.gov/military-voter/transition.
