As the election approaches, the deadline for voters to mail in their absentee ballots also closes in. Americans can submit absentee votes in local, state and federal elections if they are a U.S. citizen, 18 years or older, and are an active-duty member of the armed forces, a family member of the above or a U.S. citizen residing outside the United States. Voters can find out specific information on their state by visiting the Federal Voting Assistance Program website at http://www.fvap.gov/
