PRESS RELEASE

U.S. Vote Foundation Gains Major New Services Website is First to Offer All Services to All Voters: U.S. Domestic, Overseas Citizens and Military Voters

Washington, D.C., February 4, 2014 - At the Eighth Annual Voting and Elections Summit 2014, U.S. Vote Foundation (US Vote) announced new services and upgrades to the website, www.usvotefoundation.org. The site brings together the extensive resources of U.S. Vote Foundation and Overseas Vote Foundation (OVF) for voters of all types. The newly designed home page brings forward the voter-centric attitude of the new site. Watch Summit 2014 on Youtube “US Vote is the first public voter service organization with one destination that provides state-specific applications for all types of voters across all states, including U.S. domestic, voters abroad and military voters,” said Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, President and CEO of US Vote and OVF.  “US Vote also offers the My Voter Account (MVA) service designed to help voters cultivate their ‘personal democracy’. With the MVA service, voters can maintain a single account throughout their life and simplify their civic access. We believe that this one-stop site will streamline the voter’s experience. MVA gives voters an ROI on their effort.” View the unified site at www.usvotefoundation.org. The new US Vote offers overseas and military voters the latest rendition of the voter registration and ballot request form know as the FPCA, recently re-issued by the Pentagon’s Federal Voting Assistance Program. Whether they want to cast their ballot at a polling place, through early in-person voting, or by mail, voters will find online assistance to register to vote and/or request an absentee ballot at US Vote. Additional services include the Election Official Directory, listing comprehensive contact records for the approximately 8,500 local election offices across the U.S., the State Voter Information Directory and more.
