Pri¬mary elections play an important role in the electoral process because the names that appear on the general election ballot on November 7th are the candidates that were chosen during the primary election process.

Voters in state primaries select their party’s candidates for state and federal offices such as Governor, U.S. Sena¬tor, and member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Voter participation is crucial in any election and primaries are no different. Because dates for state primaries are spread throughout the year, be sure to consult the 2006 Election Calendar for election dates in your state.

These election dates can be found on the Election Dates poster which can be ordered through your normal supply channels. The calendar is also available in Appendix C of the 2006-07 Voting Assistance Guide (VAG) and is updated on the FVAP website, www.fvap.gov .

For more information on absentee voting, you may also contact the US Embassy in Ulaanbaatar by phone at 976-11-329-095, by email at cons@usembassy.mn, or by fax at 976-11-353-788. Voter information is also posted on the Embassy’s website at http://mongolia.usembassy.gov.
