How to register to vote absentee for US elections

Reply To:	Bud Huber <bud.huber@grommet.net>

In corresponding with the American Citizen Services unit of the US Embassy in Panama recently, I learned that it is fairly easy to register to vote absentee in US federal elections. Forwarded below is their email indicating how to do this. Given upcoming elections of significant importance, I thought it would be good to put this in front of the US expatriates here in the Boquete area.

The federal voter registration assistance web site for US citizens living abroad is:

http://www.fvap.gov

If you have further questions or need assistance, please contact theAmerican Citizen Services unit of the US Embassy in Panama City. Here is the "Contact Us" page from their web site:

http://panama.usembassy.gov/contact.html

I did the online voter registration today and it took only about 5 minutes. I then FAXed it to the appropriate office, which is information provided to you when visiting that first web site shown above.

Respectfully submitted,

Bud
