Re: Registration of and Absentee Balloting for
Gambians living abroad for the 2001 General Elections

Dear Sir or Madam:

We have a large Gambian population residing in the
United States interested in voting in the 2001 general
elections. We wish to be advised of the procedures,
special or otherwise, required for the following:

1. The registration of Gambians of legal voting age
residing abroad, more specifically in the United
States for the 2001 general elections.

2. Absentee voting for Gambians living abroad, more
specifically in the United States, in the 2001 general
elections.

Should more information be required from us in the aid
of your response,please contact us immediately.
Sincerely,



Momodou K. Ceesay
