Resources of the Week: Election 2008 and Voting
By Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor
We are apolitical here at ResourceShelf and DocuTicker. But we do believe that EVERYBODY needs to get out and vote...this year, more than ever. In that spirit, we are offering up a small collection of resources that provide voting information and information about the electoral process in general. Enjoy.
Overseas Vote Foundation (OVF) helps overseas and military voters participate in federal elections. We do this by providing public access to innovative voter registration tools and services. If you are an overseas or military voter, OVF’s goal is to make it easy for you to get your ballot and vote.
Overseas American citizens, State Department employees, and active duty uniformed service members and their accompanying families within and outside of the United States vote under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) and can all register to vote from abroad using OVF's services.
OVF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan public charity incorporated in Delaware.
You can actually register to vote here if you are a U.S. Citizen residing or traveling overseas, a member of the active duty uniformed services, or a spouse or dependent. There's also a Election Official Directory, where you can use dropdown menus to locate election office addresses, telephone, fax, email and websites.
The FreePint Family is a family of resources to help information workers be more effective, raise the value of information in their organisations and contribute to success.
'FreePint... provides most of my professional development because it won't come through work and [other resources] just don't cut it.'
