Voting Assistance
The Voting Assistance Program aims to increase voting awareness by ensuring that every Marine, their eligible family members, and other personnel serving with a Marine Corps unit, and who are eligible to vote under the laws of their state, are provided voting information and assistance. The right to vote is one of the most important civil liberties. Moreover, voting is an obligation that accompanies and protects the freedoms we enjoy. Since the birth of our Nation, Americans have understood their obligation as citizens to vote. By meeting their obligation to express themselves with the ballot, Americans have preserved our democratic system.
