Book excerpt: The Soldier Vote tells the story of how Americans in the armed forces gained the right to vote while away from home. The ability for deployed military personnel to cast a ballot was difficult and often vociferously resisted by politicians of both political parties. While progress has been made, significant challenges remain. Using newly obtained data about the military voter, The Soldier Vote challenges some widely held views about the nature of the military vote and how service personnel vote.

Book excerpt: The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, as amended and subsequently modified, specified that the right to vote was fundamental. The law explained that many logistical, geographical, operational, and environmental barriers restricted the ability to vote for military and other eligible overseas citizens. Accordingly, the law established various programs and requirements intended to help military and eligible overseas citizens register, vote, and have their votes counted. In the aftermath of the November 2000 Presidential election various Federal entities were required to report on voting assistance program compliance with law and regulation. Additionally, they were required to report on the effectiveness of those programs in achieving intended purposes The objectives of our assessment were to determine whether voting assistance programs complied with the law and DoD implementing instructions and were effective in meeting the law's intent.
Download or read book The Future of Election Administration written by Mitchell Brown and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the American election administration landscape changes as a result of major court cases, national and state legislation, changes in professionalism, and the evolution of equipment and security, so must the work of on-the-ground practitioners change. This Open Access title presents a series of case studies designed to highlight practical responses to these changes from the national, state, and local levels. This book is designed to be a companion piece to The Future of Election Administration, which surveys these critical dimensions of elections from the perspectives of the most forward-thinking practitioner, policy, advocacy, and research experts and leaders in these areas today. Drawing upon principles of professionalism and the practical work that is required to administer elections as part of the complex systems, this book lifts up the voices and experiences of practitioners from around the country to describe, analyze, and anticipate the key areas of election administration systems on which students, researchers, advocates, policy makers, and practitioners should focus. Together, these books add to the emerging body of literature that is part of the election sciences community with an emphasis on the practical aspects of administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrow margin of victory in the 2000 presidential election raised concerns about the extent to which members of the military and their dependents living abroad were able to vote via absentee ballot. In September 2001, GAO made recommendations to address variances in the Department of Defense's (DOD) Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). Along with the military services, FVAP is responsible for educating and assisting military personnel in the absentee voting process. Leading up to the 2004 presidential election, Members of Congress raised concerns about efforts under FVAP to facilitate absentee voting. This testimony, which draws on prior GAO work, addresses three questions: (1) How did FVAP's assistance efforts differ between the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections? (2) What actions did DOD take in response to prior GAO recommendations on absentee voting? and (3) What challenges remain in providing voting assistance to military personnel?

This report evaluates how FVAP: (1) addresses its mission and evaluates efforts to conduct it; (2) aligns budget priorities with strategic goals; and (3) implemented DoD¿s Inspector General recommend. made from 2001 through 2009. The report analyzed FVAP's performance measures, relevant DoD directives, FVAP's strategic plans, budgets, and past audit reports; and interviewed agency officials.
Download or read book Elections written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrow margin of victory in the 2000 presidential election aroused concern about the reliability of voting machines; the training of polling place workers; and the extent to which local jurisdictions accepted ballots from members of the military, their dependents, or citizens living abroad. The Federal Voting Assistance program developed several useful tools for voters and Voting Assistance Officers, but many potential voters GAO spoke to were unaware of them. Some installations did not meet the Department of Defense (DOD) and service requirements because they provided insufficient numbers of trained Voting Assistance Officers, voter training, and voting materials. Overseas citizens and federal employees said that the State Department provided useful information. However, many military and overseas voters believe that challenges remain, such as understanding and complying with state requirements and local procedures for absentee voting. Security and privacy issues also present challenges to widespread use of the Internet for voting. Information on the precise number of military and overseas absentee votes that local jurisdictions disqualified nationwide in the 2000 general election and the reasons for disqualification are not readily available. However, GAO's national telephone survey found that almost two-thirds of the disqualified absentee ballots were rejected because they arrived too late to be counted or the envelope or form accompanying the ballot was not completed properly.

This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We conducted this assessment in conjunction with our responsibilities under 10 U.S.C. Section 1566, and in accordance with provisions of the Inspector General Act of 1978 as amended. As indicated, the FVAP is a major multidimensional program impacting numerous Federal, state, and local agencies and jurisdictions, and is subject to repetitive examination and reporting by various Federal oversight organizations. These oversight reports have focused on program compliance with law or regulation and assessed program effectiveness. Collectively, the reports form a substantial body of work to which senior public officials and those charged with governance can refer in shaping their decisions and actions. The IG Act of 1978 requires DoDIG to avoid duplication by coordinating with the GAO, other Federal IGs, Military Service IGs, and other Federal entities. To avoid duplication and repetition-and accomplish the DoDIG mission-we used a continuous assessment methodology consistent with routine multi-organizational oversight of complex programs impacting entities and jurisdictions worldwide. The methodology includes on-going: analysis of previous and on-going oversight activity and reporting, risk assessment based on data reliability and management control, dialog with senior public officials and stakeholders at all levels, active consideration of stakeholder feedback, and separate reporting focused on individual program elements. Our most recent voting-related report, issued earlier this year, Assessment of Voting Assistance Programs for Calendar Year 2011 (Report No. DoDIG-2012-068, March 30, 2012), focused on the voting assistance programs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, as reported by their Inspectors General. This report focuses on: the sufficiency of survey data used to manage and assess voting assistance program effectiveness; compliance with the MOVE Act requirement to establish a voting assistance office on every military installation worldwide. The objectives of our assessment were to determine whether voting assistance programs carried out under the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), as amended, and subsequently modified by the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act: complied with the law and DoD implementing instructions, were effective in meeting the law's intent.
