5. AL: Chapman seeking electronic voting for Alabama military


MONTGOMERY (AP) — Alabama's chief election official said Thursday she hopes to have a pilot project for electronic voting by Alabama's military overseas by the 2008 presidential election.

Secretary of State Beth Chapman made the comment after a conference call with key leaders of national military voting organizations to seek their help in developing a system to replace mailed absentee ballots for Alabama military and their families overseas.

Chapman talked with top officials from the Overseas Vote Foundation, the Federal Voting Assistance Program of the Department of Defense, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and she expressed her support and the governor's for a more up-to-date voting method for Alabamians who are abroad at election time.
