The organization was founded as the Overseas Vote Foundation (Overseas Vote) in 2005 in order to assist overseas voters in exercising rights protected under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). In 2012 US Vote expanded to include services to domestic voters. Overseas Vote remains an initiative of US Vote. MissionUS Vote was initially founded to facilitate and increase participation of overseas and military absentee voters by providing public access to Internet-based voter services. Since 2012 the organization's primary objective has expanded to serve domestic voters in addition to overseas voters. In addition, US Vote offers its data for use by third party voter outreach organizations, voter apps and services developers, and academics and other researchers. US Vote's key activities are:
Voter Services and Site UsageUS Vote provides services for voters in all states and territories. Overseas American citizens, U.S. State Department employees, and active duty uniformed service members and their accompanying families, within and outside of the United States can register to vote from abroad and request their ballots using US Vote's suite of voter services. The organization rebranded in 2012 to reflect a shift in focus to include domestic voting issues, renaming itself to the U.S. Vote Foundation program. U.S. Vote Foundation serves domestic U.S. voters, overseas voters, and military personnel with registration, absentee ballot request, and voter information services for all states. U.S. Vote maintained Overseas Vote as an Initiative of U.S. Vote Foundation.[4] US Vote licenses its data, including contact information for approximately 8,000 local election offices, to partners including the U.S. Postal Service, the National Association of Secretaries of State, Rock the Vote, Vote.org and some corporations (Exxon Mobil, for instance, licenses a custom website to help its overseas workers access absentee ballots).[5] In November 2015, the organization's Local/Municipal Election Dates and Deadlines Data Management System and API was selected for the Knight Foundation's Prototype Fund. It aims to create a nationwide system to collect, maintain and distribute information on upcoming local election dates and deadlines.[6] US Vote had 2.6 million visits in 2016 on two portals that the group maintains. The organization has seen a 400 percent increase in ballot requests on their system since 2012.[7] Through USVF's websites, voters have access to registration information, a downloadable Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (Vote-Print-Mail Ballot), state-specific voter information directory (SVID), a local election official directory, and a "voter help-desk." In total, the organization's voter services include the following:
