I am not so sure what you are going on about TSM...

Anyway, for those interested here is a bit more info:

At the presentation you would be able to complete the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to request a ballot, but you are not able to vote until your local voting registrar, to whom you will be sending the application, mails a ballot back to you.  The FPCA and further information you need is available at both of these websites:  www.fvap.gov and www.overseasvotefoundation.org. If you have the time, I recommend taking a look before the presentation later this week.
 
Best Wishes,
