Register and request your ballot today – some states have registration deadlines beginning October 6th.
You can use FVAP's easy online assistant at www.FVAP.gov/FPCA to walk you through completion of the form. After you finish filling out the FPCA, print, sign, and send it directly to your election office. Most states accept the FPCA by email or fax while some require it by mail. Check your state-specific guidelines at FVAP.gov.
Ballots are already being sent for the November 5 General Election. Once you receive your requested absentee ballot, vote, and return it as soon as you get it. Remember to carefully follow the instructions, especially if a "security envelope" is required, and sign the package as indicated when returning it.
To ensure delivery by the ballot deadline, send your voted ballot electronically if allowed by state law. You can check ballot deadlines and if your state accepts completed absentee ballots by email, fax, or via an online portal at FVAP.gov/guide. Some states my count ballots that arrive after election day, but all voters must send their voted ballot by November 5 or earlier.
If your requested ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) immediately at www.FVAP.gov/FWAB. It acts as a backup ballot. If your official state absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, complete and send in the official ballot, too. Only one will be counted.
To ensure your voted ballot has been received by your state, go to FVAP.gov, click on your state and then the "check the status of your voted ballot" button.
To find your state's election website for specific information on candidates, elections, contact information, and links to your local election offices, visit the FVAP.gov contact page. You can also reach out directly to your election office for status updates on your registration and absentee ballot.
Additional Information for non-UOCAVA voters: Uniformed service members, their families, and Department of Defense civilians who are currently stationed in the same location as their voting address may visit vote.gov to register to vote and request information from their local election office to vote locally.
The Department of Defense is required to send this email notification starting 90 days before each election for federal office. This information is current as of October 1, 2024. As updates may occur, please check the election calendars and state guidelines at FVAP.gov for real time information.
