OverseasVoteFoundationStateHostedSystemsProgram

How it worksWhen an overseas and military voter chooses to register to vote or request a ballot from your site, a window to the entire suite of hosted services opens with your own website colors and style. The service is from your organization, although it is hosted and running on Overseas Vote Foundation‘s (OVF‘s) secure servers.

Simply set up a link or banner on your elections site for over-seas and military voter registration and the window to the services will open on your site, with your own chosen de-sign, while it is actually running on an OVF-supported secure system.

With an OVF State Hosted System (SHS), overseas and mili-tary voters can get their registration, contact data, deadline information and help desk needs attended to from one place – your site.

Reduce administrative overhead while you gain informationAs an election official, you will appreciate the SHS concept because while it improves choice and quality of services, it also takes some of the administrative burden of the overseas and military program off your shoulders.

Voters don’t need coaching through the form completion pro-cess, forms arrive with complete and legible information on them, emails are captured for easier contact with voters, and all the county websites don’t need updating when one vari-able in the registration process changes.

With the registration online, every voter that registers through your hosted system provides you with information and insights well before their signed form even arrives in the mail.

The Overseas Vote Foundation State Hosted System Program allows the powerful and feature-rich OVF software engine and applications to become your own with no development, installation or maintenance.

„There is no other organization provi-ding these services nationally and we are proud to collaborate with OVF.”

Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner

Maintain your autonomyThe OVF SHS Program gives your state the possibility to gain access to a solution for this often complex voter registration challenge without adding resources and without development, installation, maintenance or support overhead – all while maintaining your autonomy.

OVF is the first and only private organization that can offer a full-service, ready to customize and run overseas and military voter registration system and accompanying services which support your own voter participation and quality service goals. OVF brings the SHS Program to you in time to make a difference for the Primaries and General Elections.

OVF‘s web applications are provided through a user-friendly interface that employs the latest web design techniques.
