Important information

\n
\n
What is UOCAVA?
\n
\n

The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act is commonly referred to as UOCAVA. UOCAVA citizens are U.S. citizens who are active members of the Uniformed Services, the Merchant Marine, the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, their eligible family members and other U.S. citizens residing outside the United States. The law provides the legal basis for absentee voting requirements for federal offices.

\n
\n
What is the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)?
\n
\n

The FPCA (Federal Standard Form 76) allows UOCAVA citizens to register to vote and request an absentee ballot. This form is also used to update your contact information.

\n
\n
What is the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)?
\n
\n

The FWAB (Federal Standard Form 186) serves as an emergency backup ballot for UOCAVA citizens. If you do not receive your absentee ballot from your state in time to return it to your election official to participate in the election, use the FWAB.

\n
\n
What is the Prepaid Mail Label 11- DoD?
\n
\n

Overseas Uniformed Service members can use this label for general election absentee ballots. It provides free express mail service to your election official for general election absentee ballots. You can request to have a Prepaid Mail Label 11-DoD applied to your absentee ballot at Military Postal Office locations (APO/FPO). Keep part of the tracking label to track your absentee ballot through the U.S. Postal Service.

\n
\n
What is a primary election?
\n
\n

A primary election is an election held before the general election to determine the candidates that can be placed on the general election ballot.

\n
\n
I am a National Guardsman activated on state orders; does my state afford me UOCAVA privileges?
\n
\n

Yes.

\n
\n
How can I check the status of my ballot?
\n
\n

You can check the status of your absentee ballot here:\n
\n https://nj.gov/state/elections/vote-track-my-ballot.shtml

\n
\n
Does my state have any online tools?
\n
\n

You can see if your state has any online tools available here:\n

Voting Assistance Guide

\n
\n

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.
