RE: Permanent Absentee Voters

These voters are not part of any specific polling precinct. They are legal residents of the county and are registered to vote in the county, but they usually military living overseas. Therefore, they do not have a normal precinct assignment. Their ballot matches the county level districts of the courthouse, but includes no municipal races. Their voter registration numbers should not be included with any specific report precinct. In VTS, the registration numbers were entered into one of the absentee precincts.

These voters are part of the specific polling precinct, but are condsidered AV's. The system breaks these out correctly now doesn't it? The total turnout percentage includes the AV's. I'm not clear on the issue I guess.

Subject: Permanent Absentee Voters

I have several counties that have voters assigned to a “Permanent Absentee” voting status. These voters need to show up in the county-wide voter registration total, but not show up for any specific Polling Precinct. They have the same district assignments as one of the regular Base Precincts, so ballot styles for these people is not a problem. Their ballots are processed via the regular absentee voting machine.

Is there a way to enter the voter registration numbers for these people into the database without having them listed as their own Report Precinct?
