Husted
Receives Award from
Association of the U.S. Army
Independence
– Ohio Secretary of
State Jon Husted received an award from the Association of the United
States
Army on Friday, April 19, 2013, recognizing his outreach efforts in
military
voting. The award was presented to him at the Association of the United
States
Army conference that took place in Independence, Ohio.
“Making
voting easier for military
personnel helps to ensure Ohioans serving in the military remain active
participants in our democracy no matter where they may be stationed”
Secretary
Husted said. “I am honored to have received this award and will
continue to
build upon our successes because the last group of people who should
ever be
worried if their vote will be counted are those that are fighting for
our
freedom.”
Since
taking office, Secretary
Husted has worked to simplify the voting process for military personnel
and
make important voting information more readily accessible. In August
2011,
Secretary Husted launched the Military Ready-to-Vote program, which
enables
active duty soldiers to more easily register and vote and get reminders
about
upcoming elections and important deadlines. Additionally, Secretary
Husted also
established OhioMilitaryVotes.com, a comprehensive hub of information
for
Ohio’s men and women in uniform.
