Initial Invitation – Push to Web


Dear first_name last_name,


We are currently trying to learn more about Americans living outside the United States so that we can help ensure that all Americans abroad know of their right to vote and are able to successfully cast their ballots. You were randomly selected because state voting records show that you were living at a foreign address during the November 2016 election, and that qualifies you to give us the type of feedback that is vital to our success. As the Director of the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), I personally invite you to participate in a short, 10-minute survey regarding your experience with the 2016 election, whether you voted or not.


We invite you to complete the 2017 Overseas Citizen Population Survey online at:

http://www.OverseasCitizenSurvey.com


So that we do not re-contact you, enter your personal Ticket Number: code.


The act of voting is one of the most fundamental rights associated with democracy, and many citizens consider it to be an important experience. You may be aware that Americans who live and work abroad have the right to vote in American elections, but difficulties exercising this right do occur—in fact, you might have directly experienced difficulty in trying to cast an absentee ballot from outside of the United States. The United States government specifically established FVAP to ensure that all citizens living abroad are aware of their right to vote and have the tools to do so from anywhere in the world. We need your participation in this survey to help us make sure we are doing all we can to fulfill that mission. The information gathered in this survey will help us as we work to improve the absentee voting process for all U.S. citizens living abroad.


The survey is voluntary. It does not collect any information regarding your political party affiliation or other political choices, and your responses to the survey will be kept confidential and will not be associated with your name.


If you have any questions or need assistance, please send an e-mail to [email protected] or call our Survey Help Desk at 877-374-6217. If you have any questions or suggestions about the survey, please visit our website at www.FVAP.gov/info/contact.


Thank you for your help as we work to ensure that all Americans abroad know of their right to vote and have all the information and tools necessary to exercise that right.


Sincerely,


David Beirne

Director, FVAP






First Paper Reminder


Dear first_name last_name,


About a week ago you should have received a letter inviting you to participate in an important survey sponsored by the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). FVAP is the federal office dedicated to ensuring that American citizens living outside the United States are aware of their right to vote and have the tools to do so. We asked for your feedback in order to learn more about the experiences of Americans living outside the United States so we can improve the services that we provide them. Our hope is that all citizens living abroad, like you, have the opportunity to cast their vote no matter where they are located around the world. Your participation in this survey will provide us with critical information to make this possible.


If you have already completed the online survey, we thank you for sharing your experiences. If you have not yet had the opportunity to complete the survey, we encourage you to do so today.
