What do I fill in?

Only the following blocks are required:

Block 1: Select the category that describes you.

Block 2.a: Name (Last, First, Middle)

Block 2.e: Date of Birth

Blocks 2.f and 2.g: The last four digits of your Social Security Number are required. If you do not have a Social Security Number, your valid Virgin Islands Driver's License Number is required for voter registration. If you do not posses either of these identifications, the Virgin Islands will assign a number that will serve to identify you for voter registration purposes.

Blocks 2.h through 2.j: Recommended but not required. Provide your contact information to allow your local election official to follow up if more information is required.

Block 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your Virgin Islands voting residence. A post office box is not sufficient. If your address includes a rural route, describe its location in Block 6. This address must be within the county where you claim legal voting residence.

Block 4.a: Complete address where you want your ballot sent, usually where you live now.

Block 4.c: The Virgin Islands allows you to receive your ballot by mail or fax. Check how you would like to receive your absentee ballot. Provide your fax number in Block 2. If you do not make a selection, then your local election official will mail your ballot to you.

Block 5: To vote in primary elections, you must enter your political party affiliation. If you are a registered non-partisan or undeclared, you must indicate which party ballot you want to receive. If you want to change your political party affiliation, submit a completed FPCA indicating your new party preference to the local election official no later than 30 days prior to the election. Political party affiliation is not required if only requesting absentee ballots for general elections.

Block 6: The Federal Post Card Application registers you to vote and requests absentee ballots for all regularly scheduled Federal elections for the calendar year in which it is submitted. If you do not wish to receive ballots for that length of time, you may request a ballot for each election for Federal office held. Provide any information that may assist your election official in accepting this application.

Block 7: Sign and date. No notary or witness required.

Mail

If you choose to mail your FPCA, mail the form directly to:

Supervisor of Elections
P.O. Box 6038, Charlotte Amalie
St. Thomas, VI 00804-6038

Optional: You may be able to use the Postage-Paid Envelope Template.
