Military and Overseas Voters Definitions Presidential election year coming Prompt delivery Pilot program Returned ballots 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division

Texas Secretary of State Elections Division Definitions Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) – a form of applying for a ballot by mail, for use by military voters away from their home Texas County or by U.S. Civilians overseas, with added benefits, such as the ability to apply for and receive a ballot by email. Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) –a federal form voters may use to vote if they have filed an FPCA but have not yet received the official ballot – essentially, it is a back-up ballot. 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division

Presidential Election Year Military and overseas voter participation will increase. Must be prepared to deal with volume of applications along with regular ABBMs because the volume of those will be higher as well. 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division

Texas Secretary of State Elections Division Prompt Delivery It is essential that you meet the 45 day deadline. It is essential that you timely enter information into the ballot tracker so the voter can keep track of the status. It is essential that you report to me if you didn’t meet it. Number of ballots that are late Destination (domestic or overseas) Plan and date for getting them out 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division

Texas Secretary of State Elections Division Pilot Program SB 1115 gave SOS the ability to include other counties in the electronic return of marked ballots pilot program. SOS is working to insure that the pilot program is successful and will make a report on progress to the Texas legislature before the 2017 session. 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division

Texas Secretary of State Elections Division Returned Ballots Remember that overseas voters have until the fifth day after election day to return their ballots provided they were mailed on or before election day. Election night results are unofficial. The canvassed vote totals including military and accepted provisional ballots are the official election numbers. 2/19/2019 Texas Secretary of State Elections Division
