Voting in US Elections as Cadet

[AcademyHopefulOne]

Hey all,

How do cadets participate in voting? Do they get a ballot in the mail from their home district? Would they register in New York since most of their four years are spent there?

Absentee ballots. FVAP.org. There'll be a voting assistance officer to help.

Absentee ballots from their Home of Record

It's very uninvolved. I would go to my county Board of Elections in August or September and request an absentee ballot be mailed to my cadet. It would show up at the appropriate time, he voted, and put it back in the mail. I could call later and make sure it arrived back at the BofE safely.

When my DS was a plebe, he asked how he could vote....I sent him this link: http://www.gwinnettcounty.com/portal/gwinnett/Departments/Elections/AbsenteeVoting-Civilians and he the then took care of it himself. I would imagine most counties/municipalities have a similar site to handle the process...Pretty much anything can be figured out if your computer has a google button.
