JBSA Federal Voting Assistance Program

One of the greatest rights we all possess is the right to vote. It's a right that every service member fights to defend. Sometimes, however, service members are unable to take advantage of this privilege because they do not know or understand the necessary requirements. The purpose of the FVAP is to provide service members, their families, retirees and other U.S. civilian DoD employees with all possible help in registering to vote and answering other voting-related questions.

Air Forces Unit Voting Assistance Officers
The Air Force has reinstated Unit Voting Assistance Officers (UVAOs) in each unit to ensure compliance with DoDI 1000.04, Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) and updated the Air Force Guidance Memorandum (AFGM) to AFI 36-3107, AF Voting Assistance Program.
The Military & Family Readiness Centers will maintain the Installation Voting Assistance Office (IVAO), and will remain as primary and alternate IVAOs. Unit commanders are required to appoint one UVAO per unit with 25 or more permanently assigned members and an additional UVAO for each 50 assigned members above the 25 member base.
