FVAP Voter Assistance Guide and Documents:
The reference bible for all of the in-state nuances. Not always updated in the printed version (look for updates in the state section or on the fvap.gov website) but a strong starting point for questions on a state level. Secretary of State offices are the general point of contact for UOCAVA voters who have specific questions about voter registration laws and voting implications. Remember that there is no impact on a voter for participating in a federal election (Senator, Representative, Vice President, President) - but State elections (like Governor) do have residency and tax implications for voters in some states.

Technology Updates:
How does this impact your GOTV Efforts and what is the latest and greatest news in Voter Technology?
Fully Automated Voter Registration: The State of California's online tool makes it possible to register to vote online without printing, mailing, or faxing if you have a valid CA drivers license. It pulls your Driver's License signature and applies it directly to the FPCA! We are looking at all of the technology updates and will use those updates to let you know what is going on and how we can perhaps use these to an advantage in key races as the year goes on!
