Voting Assistance Guide

The Voting Assistance Guide (the Guide) is a reference guide for everything you need to know about absentee voting in all 55 States, territories and the District of Columbia. In this guide you can find information on how to register to vote absentee in the State you vote in, how to return your ballot, and what information has to be included on each form. FVAP.gov regularly updates its State information to accommodate State changes. A list of changes (errata sheet) is available to include changes made after publication of the Guide.
