If you are a U.S. uniformed services member on active duty, a Merchant Marine member, spouse or dependent thereof, or a U.S. citizen residing outside of the United States, you can register to vote and request a Vote by Mail ballot at the same time by using a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).
You can obtain the FPCA from any Voting Assistance Officer. Otherwise, you may download the FPCA by going to http://www.fvap.gov/election-materials. For more information regarding the Federal Post Card Application, click the link to the Federal Voting Assistance Program.
U.S. Embassies and Consulates can assist in completing and mailing FPCA forms, absentee ballots and other election materials. Federal portions of general election and presidential preference primary ballots voted by persons outside the U.S. are counted if dated by the voter next to his or her signature no later than election day and received by the Supervisor of Elections within 10 days of the election. Additional military election information is available from:
