Military and Overseas Citizens Registering and Voting by Mail

_____________________________________________________________

Members of the United States Uniformed Services on active duty and the Merchant Marine, their spouses and dependents and United States Citizens residing outside of the United States may apply for voter registration or request an mail ballot with a Federal Post Card Application, FPCA, which may be obtained from a Voting Assistance Officer or through the Internet at www.fvap.gov. The Federal Post Card Application request for an mail ballot will be effective for all elections through the next two regularly scheduled general elections. If the FPCA is not available, phone or send a written request by mail, fax, or e-mail to the Supervisor  of Elections and a voter registration application or mail ballot will be sent to you. Refer to Federal Voting Assistance Program website for further form instructions.

U.S. Embassies and Consulates can assist in completing, witnessing, notarizing and mailing FPCA forms, mail ballots, and other election materials. With respect to the presidential preference primary and the general election, any mail ballot cast for a federal office by an overseas elector which is postmarked or signed and dated no later than the date of the Federal election shall be counted if received no later than 10 days from the date of the Federal election as long as such mail ballot is otherwise proper.
