Go to
VOTER REGISTRATION > Voter Maintenance
and find the voter's record.
On
the record's Maint tab, verify that the voter's status is
either Active (there are several Active statuses) or Inactive. Also verify
that the green box in the lower-left corner of the Maint
tab says Overseas, Military,
or Military Dependent. If not,
the voter is not eligible to receive their ballot by email.
Note: If the
voter is not a UOCAVA voter and therefore not eligible to receive an email
ballot, the system will still allow you to request delivery by email (as
described below in step 5). However, when you do the Email run in
Vote By Mail > Deliver Ballots, the voter will be included in the list of
voters who were not provided ballots (at the bottom of the
Ordered List of Absentee Labels report), because they
are not eligible for email delivery. To fix this, go to the
Vote-By-Mailtab in the voter's record, click
Mail Ballot
Adjustments, and change the
Delivery
Method field to
Mail. The
voter will appear in the next absentee run for mailings.
Display the Vote-By-Mail tab and click New Request.
On the Vote-By-Mail Request dialog,
highlight the election.
In the How Requested
field, select any value other than Pick-up, 3rdParty,
or FWAB.
In
the Requested Delivery field, select Email Delivery.

If you want to print an Absentee Request Information Sheet to your default printer,
click Save and Print. If you don't want the sheet, just click OK
to save the request. If
the voter's email address hasn't been entered yet, you'll see a message
to that effect. Just click Yes to continue.
On the
voter's Vote-By-Mail tab, enter
their email address in the E-Mail field.
The email address will appear on reports listing
voters who have requested ballots delivered by email.
