The Federal Voting Assistance Program undertook a project to provide
remote Internet registration and voting to a very small number 
of overseas citizens in the 2000 election, called the "Voting Over the
Internet" project. A report on this project is available at the FVAP
website:  http://www.fvap.gov/publications.html

The FVAP is in the process of developing a system for the 2004
election that will provide remote Internet registration and 
voting to overseas citizens.  To date, my understanding is that
fourteen states are participants in this new project,
called the "Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment", so
there should be substantially larger numbers of participants in
this project in 2004.

Does anyone know if an electronic voting system has been made available (or 
is planning to be made available) to members of the U.S. military serving 
overseas?  If not, what might be some of the practical issues involved in 
implementing such a system?

Thanks for your thoughts,
