No. Nobody HAS to vote for any elected office on a ballot. If you don't like the candidates on the ballot, and you so desire, you can leave that section of your ballot blank and vote for everything else that DOES interest you. I've done that in the past when I don't approve of any person running for a particular office, but it's not something I do all the time.
Or, you can be one of the dimwits who sit at home and don't vote at all, and then complain about the system or who gets elected, when they are part of the problem that gets us the government we've got today.
If everyone who was eligible to vote took the responsibility of fulfilling their civic duty and VOTED, we would probably have a better, more responsible, constitutional government.

No. You are not required to vote for the president but if you do your state is required to handle you absentee vote if you are over seas. If you are overseas you will be given the opportunity at one time or another.

Your question should start "If you are in... No, service personnel do not have to vote for the president. They do not have to vote at all, if they do not choose to.

I think the servicemen and women should be the first to go out and vote since they are the most at risk when sent to war. They should be more involved then the rest of us.

well i would vote but in the war i lost my hands to a grenade and my legs to a land mine and my testicles to hooker over there. i also lost my heart to a president that lie his butt off so him and his buddies could make money of my dead body. i was for the war and for the grace of peace i saw the lies of the man and his legion. i rather stay six feet under than ever come out to vote for that slime........unlike the rich that will still vote for him to make more money on oil and land in the home of the dead and blind......

Of course not...It's a private vote just like it is for everyone else...and it's your choice whether you vote at all. What would make you think otherwise?

You can if you're away from home, like overseas during the Viet Nam thing, I didn't, but you can. It was too much trouble for me at the time.
