💜 Military Spouse Voters Week Tip: If you've PCS'd recently, your voting residence may not be the same as your current address. Knowing the difference is an important step in making sure you're ready to vote!

📢 Did you know? Your voting residence is more than just an address, it’s the place you consider your permanent home and the location tied to your state of legal residence. It also determines where you can vote in federal and state elections, and it may affect other benefits like state taxes and in-state tuition eligibility.

Make sure your voting information is up to date before casting your ballot 👉🏾 fvap.gov/military-voter/voting-residence
