In what numbers they are vot-
ing won't be known until we'll after
the election.
Their ballots are being sent to
the proper officials in the States
in which they maintain voting
residences. Service people hope to
obtain those figures from the vari-
Gus States sometime after the
election.
However, there are some indi-
cations that voting by the service
people. whether at home or
abroad, will be heavy.
Greater Volume Seen.
Col. Tom B. Blocker of the Of
flee of Armed Forces Information
and Education, in the Secretary
of Defense's office, said Ohio Of
ficials told him recently, while he
was on a visit there, that requests
for absentee ballots are coming
in in much greater volume than
they did in 1914 or 1948.
That maybe due in part to the
fact that nearly 3 million post
cards, known as Form rs, were sent
out earlier in the year to service
commands in all parts of the
world. That postcard afforded
Iservicemen a ready and easy way
for applying for an absentee bal
lot.
3 States Won't Accept.
It is accepted by all States, ex-
Icept three, having provisions for
absentee voting. Those are Flor
ida, Indiana and Montana. They
require a person desiring an alb
sentee ballot to write in and re-
quest a special form on which to
make the application. Two States
New Mexico and South Carolina
have no provisions for absentee
voting.
The Office of Information and
Education has had the RESPONSE
bility of gathering and distribut-
ing information on the voting
laws of all the States. This was
compiled in booklet form and sent
out to every echelon of command
as far back as last February. In
addition, a wall chart giving the
same information in capsule form
has been distributed. All the in
formation is kept up to date.
Pentagon researchers estimate
that 80 per cent of the men and
women in the Armed Forces are
eligible to vote. They also give a
service individual overseas a Soto
so chance of getting an absentee
ballot if one has been requested.
Some States Lag.
While 10 States - including
Maryland and Virginia - have
complied fully with recommen-
dations of Federal laws for alb
sentee voting, some States have
Jagged behind.
Several States, for example,
won't send out absentee ballots
before certain number of days
prior to the election. Alabamas S
absentee ballots are sent out 81
days before hand; Arkansas, IS,
and Minnesota, only IL.
That. obviously, makes it diff
cult for such ballots to reach
service man or woman overseas
and get back in time.
Absentee ballots going to those
overseas are forwarded as rapidly
as possible. State or county off,
