request forms and every military post should have
a liberal supply. The request can be made to the
Secretary of State, County Auditor or City Clerk.
For simplicity we suggest the request be sent di-
rectly to the Secretary of State at Olympia, Wash
ingtOn.
In addition to the above request, the servicemen
and women stationed outside the territorial limits
of the United States can receive their absentee
ballots by still another way. An immediate mem
Der of the family can apply for a ballot in behalf
of the War Voter. This means that the husband,
wife, father, mother, sister, brother, son or daugh-
sonaiIy request his city clerk or county auditor
for a Relative Application Form. If the service
voter claims legal residence within the city limits,
the city clerk should be contacted. If the legal
residence is outside the city limits, the county
auditor is the correct official. In case of doubt
write directly to the Secretary of State. The War
Voters absentee ballot will not be delivered to
the member of the family who made application,
but will be mailed directly to the War Voter by
the county auditor.

of his political utilization.
y Question: When can l expect to receive my War
Voters absentee ballot?
Answer: The ballots will be printed and mailed as
soon as possible. Mailing will start not later than as
days before each election. The State Primary falls
this year on July 18th. Mailing will start not later
than May 9th.
The General Election falls on November 18th. Mail
ing of War Voters absentee ballots will start not
later than September 23rd. Of course, the sooner the
request is received the sooner the county auditor
can start the ballot on its way. The ballots will be
sent air mail both ways at government expense.
n Question: When does the War Voters absentee
D ballot have to be sent back in order to be
counted?
Answer: All absentee ballots must be voted not later
than the day of the election. In addition to this, the
Primary Election ballot must be received by your
county auditor not later than 25 days after the cleo
ton august 25th). The General Election ballot must
be received by your county auditor not later than IL
days after the election November 25th). The shorter
period of time in which to receive the absentee ballot
after the General Election was made necessary since
the proposed Constitutional Amendments, Initiative
and Referendum Measures appearing at the top of
the General Election ballot, must be declared law
within thirty days after the election if sufficient
favorable votes are obtained.
The absentee ballot envelope will contain the
printed address of your county auditor to facilitate
your voting. If your address has changed since send
ing in your request please notify the Secretary of
State. This will be especially helpful in avoiding
time loss in forwarding the ballots for those who are
moving around within the United States. After an
APO. number has been assigned to those overseas,
the Military can promptly forward the ballot.
In any event, vote your absentee ballot as soon
as received and place Immediately in the mail.
= Question: I have never voted before and would like
y to know just what to do after l receive
my ballot.
Answer: Full Instructions explaining each step will
be enclosed with each ballot.

REMEMBER

If the War Voter is within the territorial limits
of the United States which this law describes as "the
forty-eight states of the United States and the Dis
trict of Columbia the request must be made under
the applicants signature.
If the War Voter is outside the territorial limits
of the United States, he can also apply personally
but in addition to this an immediate member of his
family can apply for him.
The serviceman should be notified by the men,
Der of the family that the application has been made
to avoid unnecessary duplication. In the event the
member of the family learns of a change of address,
do not hesitate to apply again. All Implications will
be closely checked by each county auditor and the
Secretary of State. rssm
: Question: Will one request cover both the State Pri-
, mary and General elections?
Answer: Yes. If your request is received before
July 18th (the day of the Primary Election) it will
be honored for both elections. Of course, if your re-
quest is received after the Primary only the General
Election ballot will be mailed.
Question: Is it necessary to name my political party
, in the request?
Answer: No. Whereas, in some states it is necessary
to name your political party in requesting your ballot,

\ Question: Just who can vote under this new law?
= Answer: All members of the ormed forces and
their ouxilioy bronches wherever they moy be.
There has been some confusion on this point. 1t
makes no difference if the person is stationed over
secs or not. If they ore in the Services they con
vote under this Act. The auxiliary branches in
cIudes the WAcS, WAVES, SPARS. etc.
Any officer or member of a crew of a merchant
vessel documented under the laws of the United
States and serving outside the territorial limits of
the United States.
Any citizen of the State of Washington sojourn-
ing outside the territorial limits of the United States.
Example: Salvation Army or Red Cross worker,
civilians employed in Alaska, Canada or Hawaii, etc.
Any discharged veteran who has not been out of
the service long enough in order to register and vote
as a civilian.
D Question: Is it necessary to be a registered voter in
Z order to cast a ballot under this law?
Answer: No. BY signing the affidavit which is printed
on the absentee ballot envelope the War Voter be-
comes registered for that election. This applies to
all Service voters no matter where they are stationed.
, Question: Are there any requirements as to age and
residence?
Answer: Yes. The State Constitutional requirements
apply to the War Voter the same as to civilians. Every
voter must be at least 81 years of age on the day of
the election and have lived in the State of Washing
ton l year, his respective county 90 days and city or
precinct 80 days before entering the military service.
4 Question: How is a War Voters absentee ballot OBJ
p tanned?
Answer: This question must be clearly explained
as there are two methods whereby the War Voter
may obtain his absentee ballot.
They are as follows:
A. If the servceman or woman is stationed in the
United States, the request must be made under
his or her signature. A simple letter or postcard
will do as long as the military address and the
legal residence claimed in the State of Washing
ton is given.
The postcard form OVID G No. 560) as dis
tributed by the Military is suggested as an easy
way in which to apply. The Federal War Ballot
Commission has ordered over 100000 of these
