Now is the time for absentee voting Published Oct. 2, 2012 By 459th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- Team Andrews Voters, We are now just over 30 days from the Federal Elections, Nov. 6. If you've requested an absentee ballot from your local election official and haven't yet received it, NOW is the time to submit a "Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot" (FWAB) to ensure your state receives it by their deadline which may be earlier than Nov. 6. See your unit voting assistance officer for assistance. He/She can provide help with voter registration information and resources. You can also use the on-line FWAB Wizard at https://www.fvap.gov/r3/privacyactnotice. The wizard will assist you in filling out the FWAB, printing it and getting it to the correct address for your local election official. If you don't know who your unit voting assistance officer is, please feel free to contact the Andrews Installation Voter Assistance Office at the Base Library, 1642 Brookley Ave, or call 301-981-VOTE (8683).
