If you have not received your requested State ballot 30 days before the election, use the backup ballot, or Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). It's available at www.fvap.gov/r3/fwab/state?state=NC via an online assistant that provides you with the candidate list. You may also complete the fillable PDF or pick up a hardcopy version from your Voting Assistance Officer or nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

If you receive your State ballot after submitting the FWAB, you should still complete and return it, as well. Only one ballot per person will be counted.
