ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Just voted in November? Still serving or living away from home? You should register and request your absentee ballot to vote again in 2017 to ensure your election office knows where to send your ballot for any upcoming special elections for federal office. Additionally, States are holding gubernatorial or other statewide elections this year..
The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) recommends all overseas citizens, Service members and their eligible family members send in a completed Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), the registration and ballot request form accepted by all States and territories, early every year.
You can use the FPCA online assistant, complete the fillable PDF version or pick up a hardcopy version from your Voting Assistance Officer or nearest U.S. Embassy or Consular Office. Be sure to double-check your contact information is accurate in case your election office needs to reach you.
