From:  U.S. Vote Foundation Debuts New Online Tool Customized for All 50 States  |  American Democracy Project

• US Vote’s absentee ballot services will launch on June 8th for 22 states: AL, AK, AZ, CA, CO, DC, IL, KY, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, MS, NY, OH, RI, SC, TX, UT, WA, WY. The remaining states are planned to be online by June 15, 2012.

• US Vote’s absentee ballot request tool can be accessed at https://www.usvotefoundation.org.  US Vote is the first-ever online system that offers users a state-specific absentee ballot request for every state in the U.S.

• “We created this tool so that anyone who wishes to vote can be assisted – whether it be a traveling executive, a working parent, a home-bound person, or a college student away from home,” said Dzieduszycka-Suinat.

• Users can complete the request form online, print it out, sign and mail it in to the local election office address that US Vote uniquely provides to them. No other system offers local election addresses and contact details for US absentee voters. Voter profile information can be saved online with the “My Voter Account” service. Users then have the ability to access their information from any computer at their convenience and edit it for future requests.

• Its website features a complete suite of voter services. ...  “The point of our services is access. We want to make sure all Americans are equipped with the tools they need to vote, from the polling place to the kitchen table.”
