Fort Knox voting assistance announcement
15 Jan 2026 21:13
The Fort Knox Voting Assistance Office reminds all military and eligible civilian absentee voters that a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) should be submitted annually to ensure receipt of absentee voting materials. Most states are now purging previous requests annually to ensure reduction of erroneous ballot mailings. Attached is the current FPCA. This should be filled out, printed and then mailed to the address of your designated voting office. This can be located easily on FVAP.gov which also has a downloadable version of the FPCA. Voting is your voice, don’t remain silent. As always, your local Unit Voting Assistance Officers can assist as well as the installation office in Building 1002, Room 131. The office phone numbers are 502 624-4030 or 502 624-6197. Primary season is approaching quickly, get your requests in asap.

Upcoming systems maintenance likely to impact aspects of installation access Jan. 21-22
14 Jan 2026 17:38
The public is advised that beginning at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 21, the installation will be conducting system-wide updates that are expected to last up to 24 hours. During this maintenance period, one of the primary impacts will be that the ability to issue new installation visitor passes may be paused. This could also necessitate manual screening of all pre-issued visitor passes and other forms of valid identification (e.g., military ID/Common Access Card), potentially causing entry delays. Visitors who do not already have a valid visitor pass with a completed background check will be required to be escorted at all times by a service member or a Department of War civilian employee. The sponsor must have the corresponding sponsorship documentation signed and vetted at the Visitor Center before the visitor arrives. For additional questions about installation access, please call 502-624-7011.
