Online Voting Survey

The U.S. Embassy is sending this message to registered American citizens to inform them that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), through the Overseas Vote Foundation, is conducting a survey on absentee voting.  EAC has asked for the State Department’s help in disseminating the survey to Americans worldwide. 

The survey asks voters about their experiences and preferences with respect to electronic (fax, email, online) submission of voting materials and seeks to improve the ability of overseas citizens to vote.  The results and EAC’s recommendations will be reported to Congress.

Below you will find an invitation letter and a link to the online survey, which should take 8 – 10 minutes to complete.  Your personal information will remain confidential.  Participation is voluntary.

Dear Voter:

We are conducting a survey of overseas and military absentee voters and are inviting you to tell us about your experience with voting or trying to vote in the November 2006 election.  Please take 8-10 minutes to fill out this survey.  Your responses are confidential and will be used to improve overseas voting programs.
