the county elections office by the close of polls (8:00 p.m.) on 
election day.

F. Special Write-in Absentee Ballot
California provides a state special absentee voter ballot if you cannot 
vote an absentee ballot during the normal absentee voting period 
because of military or other contingencies which preclude normal mail 
delivery. This ballot is available 60 days before the election to both 
registered voters and citizens eligible to vote but not yet registered.
To request this special ballot, place one of the special absentee 
labels from Section III.G in Item 7 of the FPCA. You must state the 
reason(s) why you cannot vote using normal mail delivery. If no labels 
are available, write in Item 7: "I cannot vote an absentee ballot 
during the normal absentee voting period due to military or other 
contingencies that preclude normal mail delivery. {Specify reason(s).}I 
request a special absentee ballot."
The elections official will provide a list of all the candidates 
qualified by the 60th day before the election as well as the measures 
to be voted on. You vote the ballot by writing in the names of the

specified reasons, including a change of residence address. 

C. Action on Registration Request
When the FPCA is used for registration, notice of acceptance or denial 
is sent by the elections official. 

D. Action If Registration Is Denied
Any person notified that registration has been denied should correct 
all deficiencies and resubmit the request. If a second denial is 
received, consult a legal assistance officer or civilian counsel.

E. Late Registration
	(1) If a registered voter is unable to appear at his/her polling 
place because of being recalled to service after the final day for 
applying for an absentee voter's ballot, but before 5 p.m. on the day 
before the election, he/she may appear before the elections official 
and apply for an absentee ballot. The ballot may be voted at the 
official's office or elsewhere and returned before the close of the 
polls on election day.

members. Uniformed Services are defined as the U.S. Armed Forces, 
merchant marine, commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and 
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

B. Registering and Requesting an Absentee Ballot
Submit a separate FPCA to request a ballot for each election (for 
local, state and Federal office ballots).
To register and request an absentee ballot, send your completed FPCA to 
the local town clerk so that it arrives not later than 5 p.m. on the 
day before the election. You may use the same FPCA to register and 
apply for an absentee ballot. 
If you are already registered and wish to request an absentee ballot 
only, send your completed FPCA to the local town clerk so that it 
arrives anytime before the election.

C. Casting Your Vote
Ballot Return Deadline: Voted ballot must arrive at the local election 
office before the close of polls on election day.
The local election official will send you a blank write-in absentee 
ballot which includes a list of all candidates and questions on the 
ballot approximately 30 days before the primary election and 
approximately 45 days before the general election.
Regular absentee ballots are available 21 days before the primary and 
31 days before the general election.
If you are outside the U.S. and have not received your state ballot in 
a timely manner, use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot. See 
instructions in Chapter 2, page 12. Connecticut accepts the Federal 
Write-In Absentee Ballot only for federal elections. See Section III.A.

D. Notary/Witness Requirements
No registration or voting materials are notarized or witnessed.

E. Electronic Transmission of FPCAs and Ballots
	1. Connecticut allows you to send the FPCA for absentee ballot 
request by fax. If you are using the FPCA to register, you may fax the 
FPCA but you must also mail the original FPCA separately to the local 
town clerk so that it arrives before 5:00 p.m. on the day before the 
election. 
	2. Connecticut does not allow you to receive the blank ballot by 
fax.
	3. Connecticut does not allow you to return the voted ballot by

A state special blank write-in absentee ballot is available beginning 
90 days before an election to Armed Forces members and their spouses 
and dependents accompanying them who, due to military contingencies, 
are unable to follow the regular absentee application process.
Vote this ballot by writing in the names of specific candidates and 
their offices.
Use the FPCA to request this state special write-in ballot. In Item 7 
of the FPCA, place one of the state special write-in labels from 
Section III.H. If no labels are available, write in Item 7: "Due to 
military contingencies, I am unable to follow the regular absentee 
ballot application process. I request a special write-in absentee 
ballot."
You may request the state special write-in ballot at any time and it is 
available 90 days before the general election.

Outside U.S.

II. CIVILIANS OUTSIDE U.S.

A. Who Can Do It
These procedures apply to persons who are U.S. citizens, residents of 
Connecticut and overseas electors. The term "overseas elector" means a 
U.S. citizen who resides outside the Unites States and (but for such 
residence) would be qualified to vote in Connecticut.
	1. Connecticut residents temporarily residing outside the U.S. 
(for local, state and Federal office ballots)

B. Registering and Requesting an Absentee Ballot

may register and request an absentee ballot by sending your completed 
FPCA to the local town clerk so that it arrives not later than 5 p.m. 
on the day before the election. You may use the same FPCA to register 
and apply for an absentee ballot. 
If you are already registered, or you are an overseas elector (not 
required to register) and wish to request an absentee ballot only, send 
your completed FPCA to the local town clerk so that it arrives anytime 
before the election.

C. Casting Your Vote

office before the close of polls on election day.

30 days before the primary and approximately 45 days before the general 
election. Local election officials mail ballots to overseas electors 30 
days before the primary and 45 days before the general election.
If you have not received your state ballot in a timely manner, use the 
Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot. See instructions in Chapter 2, page

also mail the original FPCA separately to the local town clerk so that 
it arrives before 5:00 p.m. on the day before the election. 
	2. If you are an overseas elector (not required to register), you 
may send the FPCA for absentee ballot request by fax, but you must also 
mail the original FPCA to the local town clerk either separately or

their voting rights restored and persons declared mentally incompetent

B. Registering and Requesting an Absentee Ballot

You may use a single FPCA to request ballots for all elections in a 
calendar year. If you are or were a registered voter and maintain a 
Florida residence, you may use it for local, state and Federal offices. 
If you are or were a registered voter and no longer maintain a Florida 
residence but intend to return, you may use it for everything except 
local offices. If you have never registered in any Florida county and 
maintain a Florida residence, you will receive a full ballot. If you 
have never registered and no longer maintain a Florida residence but 
this was the last place you lived, you will receive a ballot for 
Federal offices only.
To register and request an absentee ballot, send a completed FPCA to 
the local supervisor of elections so that it arrives not later than 29 
days before the election. If you maintain a Florida residence, you will 
receive a full ballot. If not and this is the last place you lived, you 
will receive a ballot for Federal offices only.
If you are already registered and only wish to request an absentee 
ballot, send a completed FPCA or other written correspondence to the 
supervisor of elections so that it arrives not later than the Friday 
before the election. Alternatively, you may request ballots for the 
primary and general elections from the county supervisor by telephone, 
or designate someone to pick up your ballot as provided in Section E 
below.

C. Casting Your Vote

Ballot Return Deadline: Voted ballot must arrive by the close of polls 
on election day. The Federal portion of your ballot will be counted if 
the ballot envelope is dated or postmarked not later than the day of 
the election and received up to 10 days after the general election or 
presidential primary.
Local election officials will mail your absentee ballot to you 
approximately 35 days before a primary election. They also will mail 
out an advance ballot 45 days before the run-off and general elections. 
Regular absentee ballots for the run-off and general elections are sent 
out as soon as they are available. Always vote and return each ballot

Persons convicted of a felony and whose civil rights have not been 
restored or persons adjudicated as mentally incapacitated with respect

register or vote.

C. Cancellation of Registration

Periodically, supervisors of elections will send address confirmation 
final notices to voters where the post office has indicated that these 
voters have moved outside the supervisor's county or left no forwarding 
address. All voters who have been mailed an address confirmation final 
notice and who do not return the form within 30 days will be placed on 
the inactive voter registration list. Voters on the inactive list can 
be reinstated by updating their voter registration, appearing to vote, 
or requesting an absentee ballot. However, after two general elections 
for Federal office from the date the final notice was sent, all 
inactive voters who show no activity will be removed from the 
registration records and must register to regain their voting 
privilege.

D. Action on Registration Requests

Registered voters are sent an identification card.

E. Action If Registration Is Denied

Persons denied registration should consult a legal assistance officer 
or civilian counsel.

F. Late Registration

An individual or accompanying family member who has been discharged or 
separated from the Uniformed Services, merchant marine, or from

register, after the books close for an election, until 5 p.m. on the 
Friday before that election.
