 With primary elections ongoing and registration deadlines nearing, here are some voter FAQs to share with the absentee voters you serve. What is my U.S. voting address? Your U.S. voting residence address is used to determine where you are eligible to vote. For military voters, it is usually the last address you lived at in your state of legal residence, and is typically the same address listed on your Leave and Earnings Statement. For overseas citizens, it is usually the last place you lived in the U.S. before moving overseas. You do not need to have any current ties with this address. How can I send my Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)? UOCAVA voters may have the option to submit their voting materials by mail, fax, or email. They can check their state's specific voting guidelines by selecting their state. Should I plan to vote at the embassy or consulate? No. Elections are run at the state and local level. You must communicate directly with your state to register, request a ballot, and vote. Most embassies and consulates will help you to fill out the FPCA and FWAB, but they are not polling places. When will I get my ballot? Election offices are required to send absentee ballots at least 45 days before a federal election. If you requested your ballot by email, then the ballot should arrive right away. Mailed ballots will take longer to arrive depending on the postal system in the country where you are located. |
