About Vote in Honor of a Veteran

U.S. Vote Foundation's legacy is in overseas and military voter registration and ballot request. With that, our support and recognition of the Vote in Honor of a Veteran actions across the states is natural part of what we do. Our first blogs and communications on the topic went out already a decade ago and the program will now evolve.

With the new Vote in Honor of a Veteran program at US.VOTE, we are proud to give the visibility to the selected state programs that they very much deserve. Not all states offer the program and here we will highlight those that do. It means a lot to individual voters to cast their ballot in honor of a veteran who mattered so much to them in their own personal lives.

“As the granddaughter of a WWII veteran, I am so moved by the vote in honor of a veteran program. Veterans gave much — indeed some servicemembers sacrificed all — to promote democracy around the world. It is fitting that on Election Day we honor them and those sacrifices.”

Whether a friend or family member, or someone they look up to dedicating a vote to a veteran is a heartfelt action. We aim to facilitate many more ballots to be cast in remembrance of those who serve our country and protect our right to vote.
