Overseas Vote Foundation (OVF), www.overseasvotefoundation.org, is the only nonprofit, nonpartisan, nongovernmental charitable organization focused on making it easier for the estimated six million overseas and military Americans residing around the world, outside their home jurisdictions, to stay active in the electoral process.

OVF achieves our mission of increased enfranchisement by automating the complex process confronting overseas and military voters when they attempt to register to vote and request absentee ballots which they must do in compliance with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).
