The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee voting protects the rights of military personnel and overseas citizens to register and vote absentee in federal elections.

This report assesses the extent to which DOD has (1) identified challenges with its military and overseas voting assistance efforts and developed plans to address those challenges; and (2) implemented strategic planning practices to help ensure the long-term effectiveness of FVAP. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
