BeAbsentee.org was a project to change the voting narrative in the United States of America to include voting by mail. The project started in 2008 to help voters connect with their right to an absentee ballot, and expanded into a full advocacy initiative.
BeAbsentee was covered in a dozen national and college newspapers, mentioned in many blogs, and received nearly 20,000 visitors during the 2008 election season.
The BeAbsentee.org project is no longer active. Absentee Voting information can be found at LongDistanceVoter.org.
