Here’s an article from today’s NY Times on expat voter registration and absentee voting that you’ll probably find interesting
nytimes.com/2004/09/29/polit … ry.html?hp

Got my overseas absentee ballot in my Taipei mailbox yesterday and I only mailed in my request less than 3 weeks ago (I am from a swinger state).

Seems the NYT is trying to start a fuss or controversy.

Federal voter assistance website mentioned in the article
fvap.gov/

The drive last weekend in Taichung went off without a hitch, and Boomer got a good number of people set up to vote… :notworthy:

Sorry it is too late. The Voter registration drive for Tainan has been cancelled.
I just got off the phone with the FVAP. They informed me that the last possible day for registering to vote in election 2004 is today. You can register to vote online in some states and by fax in all but a few.
They have a toll free number to call from Taiwan but it doesn’t work from my cell phone.

Just found a Kerry-Edwards website for overseas Americans
aokerry.com/
You can download the actual federal ballot from the website which you can use to vote.

I don’t think this is for unregistered voters. I think it’s for people who already registered at some point in their lives previously but are having trouble receiving their states’ absentee ballot or did not request one before the deadline.
