Voting Survey: Americans Living Abroad

December 7, 2010

american flag vote 2010The US Consulated in Bermuda has notified Americans living on the island that the United States Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), the Department of Defense organization responsible for overseas and absentee voting assistance for U.S. citizens, has just released a Congressionally-mandated survey to gather opinions on the absentee voting experience of U.S. citizens living overseas.

Voting is the right of U.S. citizens everywhere, including those who live outside the country. To improve the process though, FVAP need to know about personal voting experiences. With the recent 2010 Federal election just concluded, there is not a better time to ask about these experiences. FVAP has released a survey to help Americans provide this information. The data collected from this survey will be reviewed to help identify what is working and what can be improved.

To access the survey, go to http://www.drcsurveys.com/PEV2/News/. For more information or to verify the validity of the survey, please visit the FVAP Website at http://www.fvap.gov. The survey does not require any personally identifiable information, such as name, date of birth, or social security number, and all results will be kept confidential and not shared with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and any other government and/or private organization.

    I don’t know where the consulate is getting its list of Americans. But have been here nearly 21 years, worked at the base, and have never gotten this survey–or invited to the July fourth party!
