E-Mail Ballots For Overseas Voters
KENTUCKY....
Under new federal voting requirements, military voters in Tennessee and Kentucky who are overseas during the November 2nd election can now get their ballots by e-mail and track their ballot online. The Military and Overseas Empowerment Act that passed last year requires all states to provide timely and electronic access to voter forms to help reduce the time it takes to get absentee ballots from military and overseas voters. According to the Overseas Vote Foundation, more than half of surveyed voters in 2008 who tried but could not vote were unable to because their ballots were late or did not arrive. Voters still have to return marked ballots by mail. While the e-mail option is quicker, soldiers will still need to find a way to print the attached documents.
