Chapter 1

HOW TO VOTE ABSENTEE

Can You Vote Absentee?

In order to vote in U.S. elections, you must be: 

— a citizen of the United States on the date of the

election in which you wish to vote, and

— at least 18 years old on Election Day. (Some

States allow 17-year-olds to vote in primary

elections if they will be 18 on or before the

general election.)

The absentee voting process in this book applies to you if

you are: 

— an active duty member of the U.S. Uniformed

Services or merchant marine, 

— a family member (spouse or dependent)

— a U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S. 

If you are not one of the above but will be away from your

polling place on Election Day, you may still be able to vote

absentee according to your State’s absentee voting

guidelines. Contact your election office or check your State

election website for more information. State websites and

local election office addresses are available in your State’s

pages in Chapter 2. 

How Do You Vote Absentee? 

Step 1: Register and Request Your Absentee

Ballot

You must register and request an absentee ballot in your

State of legal residence by completing a Federal Post Card

Application (FPCA) according to your State or territory’s

specific instructions and submitting it to your local election

office. 

In all States and territories, one FPCA can be used to

request ballots for primary and general elections for Federal

offices (President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S.

Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner). You

should submit a new FPCA each year and whenever you

change your mailing address. 

The FPCA: 

z is available at military bases, U.S. embassies and

consulates, election organizations, and corporations

worldwide.

z is available at www.fvap.gov, along with a pre-paid

envelope template for submitting by mail. 

z is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system,

including APO and FPO addresses, and through

diplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies and

consulates. If submitting the FPCA from outside the

United States using a foreign mail service, you must

affix proper postage and include “USA” in the mailing

address. 

z may be sent using private courier services. However,

they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and may

require the physical address of your local election

office. 

Many States and territories allow you to return your FPCA

by email or fax. Consult your State’s pages in Chapter 2 to

see what your State allows. 

The FPCA and mailing instructions are illustrated on pages

4-5.

Step 2: Your Election Official Processes Your

Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) and Sends

You a Blank Ballot

Your local election official will process your FPCA to

determine if you meet the jurisdiction’s residency

requirements and will decide which ballot to send you.

Your local election official will contact you if there are any

questions or if your application has been denied. Therefore,

it is important to provide your complete contact information

on your FPCA. 

FVAP urges you to contact your local election office with

questions on the status of your FPCA. Some States have

voter registration verification websites where you can find

your voter registration status. Links to these sites and

contact information for local election officials can be found

at www.fvap.gov.

Step 3: Vote Your State Ballot or Use the Back-Up

Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)

Vote and return your State ballot as soon as you receive it. If

you have registered and requested your ballot by your

State’s request deadline (or at least 30 days before the

election, whichever is later), you may use the Federal

Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) any time before the

election.

Your completed FWAB must be received by your local

election office by the deadline for receipt of State absentee

ballots for that election.

In most cases you can only use the FWAB to vote for

Federal offices in general elections. Some States have

expanded the use of the FWAB to include voting in

primary, run-off, and special elections or for offices other

than Federal offices. Some States have also expanded the

use of the FWAB for registration and ballot request. Consult

your State’s pages in Chapter 2 to see what your State

allows. 

The FWAB consists of:

— Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot Instructions

— Voter’s Declaration/Affirmation

— Official Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot with

Security Envelope attached

— Mailing Envelope

The FWAB is also available at www.fvap.gov. The online

version of the FWAB does not contain the security or the

mailing envelope; however, you may use two plain

envelopes: mark one as the security envelope and use the

other as a mailing envelope. You may use the online

prepaid envelope template as the mailing envelope. 

To complete your FWAB, follow your State’s instructions

in Chapter 2. Once finished, place your voted ballot inside

the security envelope and seal it. Do not write on the

outside of the security envelope. Place the security

envelope, along with the Voter’s Declaration/Affirmation,

inside the mailing envelope.

The FWAB:

z is available at military bases, U.S. embassies and

consulates, election organizations, and corporations

worldwide and at www.fvap.gov. 

z is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system,

including APO and FPO addresses and through

diplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies and

consulates. If submitting the FPCA from outside the

United States using a foreign mail service, you must

affix proper postage and include “USA” in the mailing

address. 

z may be sent using private courier services. However,

they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and may

require the physical address of your local election

office. 

Many States and territories allow you to return your FWAB

by email or fax. Consult your State’s pages in Chapter 2 to

see what your State allows. 

If you receive your State absentee ballot after you have

submitted the FWAB, you should vote and return that ballot

immediately. If the State absentee ballot arrives by your

State’s deadline, the State will count that ballot instead of

the FWAB. 

The FWAB and mailing instructions are illustrated on pages

6-10.

Can You Email or Fax Your Voting 

Materials?

If a State allows electronic transmission of election

materials, it may allow you to:

— send the FPCA for registration and/or absentee

ballot request by email or fax,

— receive the blank absentee ballot by email or fax, 

— return the voted absentee ballot by email or fax,

— a combination of the above. 

Any other written correspondence involving voter

registration or elections may be emailed or faxed to local

election officials in any State. 

Sending the FPCA by Email or Fax

Where allowed by State law, you may email or fax the

FPCA to your local election official. Follow the steps

below: 

z Complete and sign the FPCA according to your State’s

requirements in Chapter 2. 

z Complete the Electronic Transmission Sheet included

at the end of this chapter (or an alternate cover sheet

containing similar information). 

z Emailing: Scan the FPCA and save as a PDF file.

Email the file as an attachment, along with a scanned

copy of the Electronic Transmission Sheet. Email

directly to the local election office. Email addresses

can be found on the State’s election website, available

in the State’s pages in Chapter 2 or at www.fvap.gov. 

z Faxing: Use a separate transmittal sheet for each

FPCA and send each form separately to ensure that

each form is received by the proper election official. It

is recommended that you fax the FPCA directly to

your local election office. Fax numbers can be found

on the State’s election website, available in the State’s

pages in Chapter 2.You may also use the Electronic

Transmission Service to fax your FPCA toll-free. To use

emailed or faxed from the local election office to the email

address or fax number you provide on the FPCA. 

Returning the Voted Absentee Ballot by Email or

Fax

Where allowed by State law, the voted ballot may be

emailed or faxed. Follow the steps below: 

z Follow the instructions provided by the local election

official in marking and executing your ballot. 

z By emailing or faxing the voted ballot, you are

waiving the right to secrecy of the ballot. You must

sign and date a statement on the Electronic

Transmission Sheet indicating, “I understand that by

faxing or emailing my voted ballot I am voluntarily

waiving my right to a secret ballot.” 

z Complete the Electronic Transmission Sheet included

at the end of this chapter (or an alternate cover sheet

containing similar information). Include the number of

pages being transmitted for each voted ballot. Retain a

receipt of the date and time the voted ballot was

z After emailing or faxing, your State may require that

election office. Consult your State’s pages in Chapter 2

under “How and Where to Submit Your FWAB” to see

what your State requires. 

Received Your Ballot by Email or Fax, but Need to

Return it by Mail?

If your State does not allow you to return your voted ballot

by email or fax, you may mail it using the security envelope

and ballot transmittal envelope from the Federal Write-In

Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Detach the envelopes from the

rest of the form. (See FWAB Mailing Instructions on the

previous page.) You may also use two plain envelopes:

mark one as the security envelope and use the other as the

mailing envelope. You may use the prepaid envelope

template at www.fvap.gov as the mailing envelope. 

Recommended Mailing Deadlines 

for the November 2010 General 

Election 

FVAP recommends that you send your FPCA by August

15, 2010 to ensure that you receive your ballot in time to

vote and return it to be counted.

— Voters in Iraq, Afghanistan, ships at sea, and

other overseas locations without access to the

military postal system should send voted ballots

by October 2, 2010

— Voters in other overseas military installations

should send voted ballots by October 9, 2010

— Stateside Uniformed Service members and their

families should send voted ballots by October 25,

2010. 

If you do not receive your State absentee ballot by October

2, 2010, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot. If you

receive your State absentee ballot, vote and return it. If both

ballots are received by the deadline, only the State ballot

will be counted.

On the following pages, you will find the Federal Post Card Application 

(FPCA), the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB), and the 

Electronic Transmission Sheet.

Registering and Requesting Your

The Federal Post Card Application registers you to vote and 

requests absentee ballots for every subsequent Federal election 

held until the voter fails to return an executed ballot in two 

consecutive statewide general elections.

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal Post 

Card Application (FPCA): 

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: Your valid California Driver's License

number OR the last four digits of your Social Security number

is required for voter registration. If you do not possess either of

these identification numbers, California shall 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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

California 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: California allows you to receive the blank ballot by

receive your absentee ballot. Provide your email address or fax

local election official will mail your ballot to you.

Block 5: Enter your political party affiliation. If you do not

wish to register with any party, enter “decline to state.”

California law allows “decline to state” voters to vote a party

ballot at a primary election if the political party allows it. Find

out which political parties allow this at www.sos.ca.gov. If you

want to change your political party, submit a completed FPCA

indicating your new party preference to the local elections

official no later than 15 days before the election.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, California

provides a State Special Absentee Voter Ballot up to 60 days

before the election to any voter unable to vote in the regular

vote-by-mail process due to military or other contingencies.

This ballot allows you to vote for local, State and Federal

offices, and ballot measures. To request it, write in Block 6: “I

cannot vote by mail during the normal vote-by-mail period due

to military or other contingencies that preclude normal mail

delivery. [Specify reason(s).] I request a special absentee

ballot.” 

Provide any information that may assist the local election

official in accepting this application.

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

How and Where to Submit Your FPCA:

California allows you to submit the FPCA by mail, email, or

fax. If you choose to email or fax, you should also sign and

processing of form.

Federal Post Card Applications received on or before October

28, 2009 will register you to vote and request absentee ballots

for all federal elections held through the next two regularly

scheduled general elections. Applications received after

October 28, 2009 will register you to vote and request absentee

ballots for all federal elections held through the calendar year

in which it was submitted.

Block 1: Select the category that describes you.

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

registered in Colorado.

Block 2.c: Sex

Block 2.e: Date of Birth

Blocks 2.f. and 2.g: Enter your valid Colorado Driver's

License number OR Department of Revenue ID number. If

you do not have either of these numbers, enter the last four

any of these identification numbers, write “none” and the State

shall assign a number that will serve to identify you for voter

registration purposes.

Blocks 2.h through 2.j: Provide your contact information to

allow your local election official to follow up if more

information is required. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

claim legal voting residence.

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

usually where you live now. 

Block 4.c: Colorado allows you to receive your ballot by mail

your new party preference to the local election official no later

than 29 days prior to the election. Political party affiliation is

not required if only requesting absentee ballots for general

elections.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Colorado

provides a State Write-In Absentee Ballot beginning 57 days

before the election to any voter living outside the U.S. unable

to vote in the regular absentee voting process due to military or

other contingencies. This ballot allows you to vote for local,

State and Federal offices. To request it, write in Block 6: “I

cannot vote an absentee ballot during the normal absentee

voting period due to military or other contingencies that

preclude normal mail delivery (specify reasons). I request a

special absentee ballot.” 

If you wish to receive a ballot by mail for every election that

you are eligible to vote in, write “Add my name to the

permanent mail-in ballot list.” If your address changes, be sure

to submit a new FPCA to your local election official.

Provide any information that may assist the local election

official in accepting this application.

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

in the security envelope and do not write on the security

envelope.

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB:

These are not mailing deadlines. Mail your voting materials early enough to account for mail delivery times. 

Check the Recommended Mailing Dates on the next page for details.

Information is current as of October 2010. Check www.fvap.gov for updates.

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

The Federal Post Card Application registers you to vote and

requests absentee ballots for all Federal elections held

through the next regularly scheduled general election.

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA):

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: Your valid Delaware Driver's License

number OR your complete Social Security number is

required for voter registration. If you do not possess either

of these identification numbers, the State shall 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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

Delaware 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: Delaware allows you to receive the blank ballot

by mail, email or fax. Check how you would like to receive

your absentee ballot. Provide your email address or 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 want to change your

political party affiliation, submit a completed FPCA

indicating your new party preference to the local election

official. There are two periods during which you may not

change your political party affiliation: from November 1 in

the year before a general Presidential election through the

day of the Presidential primary, and from March 31 in the

year of the general election through the day of the primary

election. Political party affiliation is not required if only

requesting absentee ballots for general elections.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Delaware

provides a Special Write-In Absentee Ballot up to 90 days

before the general election to any voter unable to vote in the

regular absentee voting process due to the requirements of

military service or other contingencies. This ballot allows

you to vote for local, State and Federal offices. To request

it, write in Block 6: “I am unable to vote by regular

absentee ballot or in person due to requirements of military

service. I request a special write-in ballot.” 

Provide any information that may assist the local election

official in accepting this application.

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

How and Where to Submit Your FPCA:

Delaware allows you to submit the FPCA by mail, email, or

fax. 

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

your local election office. Addresses can be found at the

end of this section.

Voting Your Ballot 

Local election officials begin mailing ballots approximately 45

days before an election.

In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Georgia provides a State

Special Write-In Absentee Ballot with the regular ballot for use

in potential runoff primaries and runoff elections. The SWAB

will automatically be included with any absentee ballot sent to

military and overseas citizens for any general primary or

general election. The SWAB can also be downloaded at:

www.sos.ga.gov/elections/uocava. 

Voted ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and

received by the local election official no later than three

days after the election.

You must sign the self-administered Oath of Elector. If you

receive assistance due to physical disability or illiteracy, the

person providing assistance must complete and sign the

necessary oath of assistance.

Voted ballots must be returned by mail. 

Overseas uniformed service members and their family

members with access to the Military Postal Service, may use

the “Prepaid Expedited Mail- Label 11-DOD”. This label is

available at APO/FPO locations and can only be used for the

general election. It provides expedited mail service up to seven

days prior to the election. You can return your ballot with this

label attached at any MPO/FPO, American embassy or

consulate. A portion of label is retained by you for tracking

your ballot through the U.S. Postal Service.

Follow-Up on Your FPCA

To find out the status of your absentee ballot request,

contact your local election office. Contact information can

be found at www.elections.il.gov.

Your jurisdiction will contact you if your application is

denied.

Ballot Request by Proxy

If you are a member of the U.S. Service, and your spouse,

dependent, mother, father, sister, or brother is registered to

vote in your election precinct, he or she may use a special

application provided by the election official to request an

absentee ballot on your behalf.

Late Registration

Uniformed Service members discharged within 60 days of

an election, and their families, who return to Illinois after

the registration deadline may vote in person in that election

by affidavit.

Voting By Citizens Who Have Never Lived in the

U.S.

A U.S. citizen who was born abroad and who is eligible to

vote and who has never lived in the U.S. may register and

vote in the county where a parent would be eligible to

register and vote. Use the most recent residential address in

Illinois of a family member.

Voting Your Ballot 

Local election officials send ballots 45 days before primary

and special elections and 60 days before general elections.

If regular absentee ballots are not available 60 days before

the general election, local election officials mail a Special

Write-In Ballot with a list of candidates and referenda for

which the voter is qualified to vote.

Voted ballots must be received by the local election

office by 7 pm on Election Day or by the 14th day after

the election if postmarked by the day before Election

Day.

No witness or notary is required on voted ballots. 

You may return the voted ballot and signed affidavit by

mail, email, fax, or Illinois’ secure ballot upload system.

However, you must return the hard copy ballot, along with

your original signature, in order for the ballot to be counted.

Use FPCA mail, email and fax instructions under “How and

Where to Submit Your FPCA.” To use the secure ballot

upload system, you must have received a user ID and

password from your local election official. 

Overseas uniformed service members and their family

members with access to the Military Postal Service, may

use the “Prepaid Expedited Mail- Label 11-DOD”. This

label is available at APO/FPO locations and can only be

used for the general election. It provides expedited mail

service up to seven days prior to the election. You can

return your ballot with this label attached at any MPO/FPO,

American embassy or consulate. A portion of label is

retained by you for tracking your ballot through the U.S.

Postal Service.

Haven’t Received Your Ballot? 

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late. . . 

Use the Federal Write-In Absentee 

Ballot!

Illinois allows you to use the Federal Write-In Absentee

Ballot (FWAB) when voting in primary, special, run-off,

and general elections for Federal, State, and local offices

and non-candidate ballot issues. If you have requested your

absentee ballot, feel free to use the FWAB to vote anytime

before an election. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the FWAB’s

Voter Declaration/ Affirmation: 

Block 1.a: Select the category that describes you.

Block 1.b: Illinois does not require voter registration. Do

not check this block. 

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

Block 2.e: Date of Birth

Blocks 2.f and 2.g: Enter your valid Illinois Driver's

License number, the last four digits of your Social Security

number, OR your State voter registration number.

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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

Illinois 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: Enter your current mailing address.

Block 5: Enter your political party preference if you are

voting in primary elections.

Block 6: Provide any information that may assist the local

election official in accepting this ballot or application.

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

Vote Your FWAB:

To find out the races and candidates for which you can vote,

go to www.elections.il.gov. For each office for which you

vote, write in either a candidate's name or a political party

designation. Once the ballot is complete, fold and place it in

the security envelope and seal. Place only the voted ballot

in the security envelope and do not write on the security

envelope.

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB: 

The deadlines for submitting the FWAB are the same as for

State absentee ballots. If you receive the State ballot after

submitting the voted FWAB, you may also vote and return the

State ballot. If both ballots are received by the deadline, only

the State ballot will be counted.

Insert the sealed security envelope and the Voter's

Declaration/Affirmation into the mailing envelope and mail

your FWAB directly to your local election official. 

Illinois allows you to submit the FWAB by mail, email, or

fax. However, you must return the hard copy FWAB, along

with your original signature, in order for the FWAB to be

counted. 

If you choose to mail your FWAB, insert the sealed security

envelope and the Voter's Declaration/Affirmation into the

mailing envelope and mail the ballot directly to your local

election office. Addresses can be found below.

If you choose to email your FWAB, you should send it as a

Louisiana allows you to return the voted ballot by mail or

the absentee ballot by the 14th day before the election, or

makes a request within this 14 day time period. The

Registrar of Voters will notify the voter of the emergency

procedures and work with the voter in submitting the

FWAB by email or fax. Email addresses and fax numbers

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

The Federal Post Card Application registers you to vote and

requests absentee ballots for all regularly scheduled Federal

elections for 24 months from the date of the receipt of the

application.

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA):

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: Enter your valid Maine Driver's

License number. If you do not have a Maine Driver’s

License, enter the last four digits of your Social Security

number. If you do not possess either of these identification

numbers, write “none” and the State shall 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 the election

official to follow up if more information is required. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

Maine 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 municipality

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: Maine allows you to receive your ballot by mail

or electronically via download from a secure website or by

fax. Check how you would like to receive your absentee

ballot. Provide your fax number or email address in Block

2. Please ensure that this email address does not block or

filter emails forwarded from the election official. If you do

not make a selection, then the 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 currently registered and

want to change your political party affiliation and have been

enrolled in the political party for at least three months, the

FPCA must be received by your election official no later

than 15 days before the election. If you are currently

registered and have previously declined to indicate a

political party and you now want to vote in a primary

election, you must submit the FPCA to the election official

any time before the election. Political party affiliation is not

required if only requesting absentee ballots for general

elections.

Block 6: Provide the name of the municipality and State

where you were registered to vote before you registered at

your current Maine voting residence. This address must be

different from the one in Block 3. If you have not registered

to vote before, write “none.” 

In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Maine provides a

State Write-In Absentee Ballot up to 3 months before the

election to any voter living outside the U.S. who believes

they cannot receive and return their voted ballot in a timely

manner. To request it, write in Block 6: “I will be unable to

vote by regular absentee ballot. I request a blank absentee

ballot.”

Vote Your FWAB:

Vote for any Federal, State, or local office in a general

election. To find out the races and candidates for which you

can vote, go to www.sos.state.mn.us. For each Federal

office for which you vote, write in either a candidate's name

or a political party designation. For State and local offices,

write in the candidate’s name. (Political party designation is

not sufficient for State and local offices).

Once the ballot is complete, fold and place it in the security

envelope and seal. Place only the voted ballot in the

security envelope and do not write on the security envelope. 

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB:

The deadlines for submitting the FWAB are the same as for

State absentee ballots. If you receive the State ballot after

submitting the voted FWAB, you may also vote and return

the State ballot. If both ballots are received by the deadline,

only the State ballot will be counted.

Insert the sealed security envelope and the Voter's

Declaration/Affirmation into the mailing envelope and mail

your FWAB directly to your local election official.

form requests absentee ballots for both the primary and

subsequent general election. FPCAs received in 2008 and

2009 are valid as requests for absentee ballots through the

2010 general election.

You may also submit the FPCA by the listed registration

deadline to register permanently in Missouri and vote a full

ballot. If you do not register permanently, you will not be

qualified to vote in person at the polls.

Post Card Application (FPCA):

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Missouri

provides a State special write-in absentee ballot to any voter

unable to vote in a general election due to military service

request the State special write-in ballot within 80 days of a

general election. To request it, write in Block 6: “I am

unable to vote by any other means due to requirements of

military service or due to living in isolated or extremely

remote areas of the world. I request a special write-in

absentee ballot.” 

If you do not wish to receive ballots for all Federal elections

through the next two regularly scheduled general elections,

you may request a ballot for each election for Federal office

held in the next election year OR a ballot for only the next

scheduled election for Federal office by noting your choice

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) registers you to

vote and requests absentee ballots for all regularly

scheduled Federal elections for the calendar year in which it

is submitted.

Uniformed Service members and their families can register

to vote and request their absentee ballot by completing and

returning the FPCA. After you receive the absentee ballot,

you also must complete, sign and return the affidavit

envelope enclosing the absentee ballot.

If you are an overseas citizen residing outside the U.S.

temporarily, the FPCA will not register you permanently.

You will receive a State registration form for permanent

registration after submitting your FPCA. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA):

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: Your valid New Hampshire Driver's

License number OR the last four digits of your Social

Security number is required for voter registration. If you do

not possess either of these identification numbers, the State

shall 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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

New Hampshire 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 town

or city 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: New Hampshire allows you to receive the blank

ballot by mail, email or fax. Check how you would like to

receive your absentee ballot. Provide your email address or

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 want to change your

political party affiliation in anticipation of a State primary

election, you must submit a completed FPCA indicating

your new party preference to the local election official by

the first Tuesday of June in that year. Political party

affiliation is not required if only requesting absentee ballots

for general elections.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, New

Hampshire provides a State Special Write-In Absentee

Ballot to any voter unable to vote in the regular absentee

voting process due to the requirements of military service

or due to living in remote areas outside the U.S. and

Canada. This ballot is available for the State primary no

later than July 15 and for the general election no later than

the date of the State primary. This ballot allows you to vote

for Federal offices. To request it, write in Block 6: “I am

unable to vote by regular absentee ballot or in person due to

requirements of military service or due to living in isolated

areas outside the United States and Canada. I request a

special write-in absentee ballot.”

envelope and the Voter's Declaration/Affirmation into the

mailing envelope and mail the ballot directly to your local

election office. Addresses can be found below.

local election official. Fax numbers can be found at

requests absentee ballots for every subsequent Federal

election held until the voter otherwise notifies the clerk, or

the county election official receives evidence that the

elector’s voter registration is no longer current.

All information applies to Uniformed Service members,

their families, and overseas citizens, as well as members of

the U.S. Armed Forces and merchant marine who have

been discharged within 30 days of an election.

Post Card Application (FPCA):

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: Your valid Oregon Driver's License

number OR the last four digits of your Social Security

number is required for voter registration. If you do not

election official to follow up if more information is

time before the election. To request it, write in Block 6: “I

am outside the territorial limits of the United States and the

District of Columbia and I am unable to vote and return a

regular absentee ballot by normal mail delivery in the time

provided for regular absentee ballots. I request a special

No Federal Elections Scheduled for the 2010 Election Cycle

Information is current as of October 2010. Check www.fvap.gov for updates.

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) registers you to

vote and requests absentee ballots for all regularly

scheduled Federal elections for the calendar year in which it

is submitted and the next Federal election.

Puerto Rico only accepts the FPCA as a temporary

registration and absentee ballot request for elections for

Federal office. If you temporarily register using the FPCA,

you will only be able to vote absentee, not in person. To

register permanently, you must register in person. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA):

Block 1: Select the category that describes you.

Block 2.a: Both your paternal and your maternal surnames

are required. Otherwise, provide your full name as it

appears on file at the Puerto Rico's Elections Commission.

Block 2.e: Date of Birth

Blocks 2.f and 2.g: Your Puerto Rico Driver's License

number is required. If you do not have a Puerto Rico

Driver's License number, the last four digits of your Social

Security number OR your voter registration number is

required.

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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

Puerto Rico 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: Puerto Rico does not allow you to receive your

blank ballot by email or fax. More transmission options

may be available. Check www.fvap.gov for updates. 

Block 5: To vote in primary elections, you must enter your

political party affiliation. If you want to change your

political party affiliation, submit a completed FPCA

indicating your new party preference to the Absentee

Voting Administrative Board. Political party affiliation is

not required if only requesting absentee ballots for general

elections.

Block 6: Provide your father's and mother's first names.

The certifying officer who signs Block 7 must State here -

“I certify that [voter] is a [member of the U.S. Army,

student at XX University, etc., whichever is applicable].” 

Provide any information that may assist the local election

official in accepting this application.

Block 7: Sign and date. There is no notary requirement on

elections for Federal offices. 

How and Where to Submit Your FPCA:

Puerto Rico allows you to submit the FPCA by mail, email,

or fax if you are already registered. If you are not already

registered and choose to email or fax, you must also submit

your FPCA by mail so that it arrives by the ballot return

deadline.

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

Absentee Voting Administrative Board (JAVA)

Puerto Rico Elections Commission

PO Box 195552

San Juan, PR 00919-5552

If you choose to email your FPCA, you should send the

form as a signed, scanned attachment. Email directly to the

Absentee Voting Administrative Board at

java@cee.gobierno.pr.

If you choose to fax your FPCA, fax the form directly to the

Absentee Voting Administrative Board. Fax numbers can

be found at www.ceepur.org. You may also use the DoD

Electronic Transmission Service to fax your FPCA toll-free.

To use the Electronic Transmission Service, use the cover

sheet available in Chapter 1 or at www.fvap.gov, and fax to:
Puerto Rico 2010-11 Voting Assistance Guide

There is no notary requirement on elections for Federal

Overseas uniformed service members and their family

members with access to the Military Postal Service, may

label is available at APO/FPO locations and can only be

used for the general election. It provides expedited mail

American embassy or consulate. A portion of label is

retained by you for tracking your ballot through the U.S.

Postal Service.

sent, usually where you live now.

General Assembly. You must request this ballot 90 or less

days before the election. To request it, write in Block 6: “I

am unable to vote by regular absentee ballot or in person

due to requirements of military service or due to living in

isolated or extremely remote areas of the world. I request a

special write-in absentee ballot.”

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

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.

Voters should submit a new application after January 1 of

each year to qualify for all upcoming federal elections.

Tennessee only accepts the form as a temporary registration

and absentee ballot request. To register permanently, you

must complete Tennessee’s Federal Voter Registration

Form available at http://state.tn.us/sos/election/forms/ss3010.pdf and submit it along with your FPCA. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA):

Block 1: Select the category that describes you.

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

Block 2.c: Sex

Block 2.d: Requested but not required. Enter the choice

Origin; H = Hispanic; M = Multi-racial; NH = Native

Block 4.a: Complete address where you want your ballot

sent, usually where you live now. 

Block 4.c: Tennessee allows you to receive the blank ballot

block or filter emails forwarded from your county election

official. 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 want to change your

political party affiliation, submit a completed FPCA

indicating your new party preference to the local election

voted ballot in the security envelope and do not write on the

security envelope.

Check the Recommended Mailing Dates on the next page for details.

Information is current as of October 2010. Check www.fvap.gov for updates.

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

Registration is not required. You must still complete the

Federal Post Card Application to request an absentee ballot.

When you return the voted ballot, you will be registered.

The form requests absentee ballots for all Federal elections

held through the next regularly scheduled general election. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal

Post Card Application (FPCA): 

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: Your valid Utah Driver's License

number OR the last four digits of your Social Security

number is required for voter registration. If you do not

possess either of these identification numbers, the State

shall 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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

claim legal voting residence.

Block 4.a: Complete address where you want your ballot

sent, usually where you live now.

Block 4.c: Utah allows you to receive your absentee ballot

you would like to receive your absentee ballot. Provide

your email address or fax number in Block 2. If you do not

make a selection, then your local election official will mail

your ballot to you. More transmission options may be

available. Check www.fvap.gov for updates. 

Block 5: To vote in primary elections, you must enter your

political party affiliation. 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 20 days prior to the election. Political

party affiliation is not required if only requesting absentee

ballots for general elections.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Utah

provides a State Special Write-In Absentee Ballot available

90 days before an election to any voter unable to vote in the

regular absentee voting process due to military service. You

must request this ballot no later than 20 days before the

election. This ballot allows you to vote for Federal offices

only. To request it, write in Block 6: “I am unable to vote by

regular absentee ballot or in person because of military

service. I request a special write-in absentee ballot.” 

If you do not wish to receive ballots for all Federal elections

through the next regularly scheduled general election, you

may request a ballot for each election for Federal office

held in the next election year OR a ballot for only the next

the security envelope and seal. Place only the voted ballot

in the security envelope and do not write on the security

envelope. 

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB:

Utah allows you to submit your FWAB by mail (or email or

fax only if you are in hostile fire zone or other area where

mail service is unreliable.)

If you choose to mail your FWAB, insert the sealed security

writing on the email/fax cover sheet, “I understand that by

electronically transmitting my voted ballot I am

voluntarily waiving my right to a secret ballot” and either:

zone” OR “I affirm that I am currently deployed in an area

where the mail service is unreliable and not sufficient to

accommodate timely mail service.” Email directly to your

local election office. Email addresses can be found at

If you choose to fax submit your FWAB, fax it directly to

concerns the State of Vermont, I will do it so as in my

conscience I shall judge will most conduce to the best good

of the same, as established by the Constitution, without fear

or favor of any person.” You, or the person who

administered the oath to you, must write ONE of the

following in Block 6 and sign (as applicable): 

— “On the __ day of __, 20__, I swore or affirmed

the Vermont voter's oath” OR

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB: 

If using the FWAB simultaneously as a registration form,

ballot request form and voted ballot, it must be received by the

local election office by the registration deadline.

If using the FWAB simultaneously as a ballot request form and

voted ballot, it must be received by the local election office by

the ballot request deadline.

If using the FWAB as a voted ballot only, it must be

received by the local election office by the ballot return

deadline. If you receive the State ballot after submitting the

voted FWAB, you may also vote and return the State ballot. If

will be counted.

Registering and Requesting Your 

Absentee Ballot

The Federal Post Card Application registers you to vote and

requests absentee ballots for every subsequent Federal

election held until the voter is no longer registered to vote

in the state.

Alternately, if you have a valid Washington State Driver's

License or State identification card, you may complete your

voter registration online or download a paper application at

www.vote.wa.gov. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the Federal Post

Card Application (FPCA):

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: Your valid Washington Driver's License or

State ID Card number OR the last four digits of your Social

Security number is required for voter registration. If you do not

possess any of these identification numbers, the State shall

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. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

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: Washington allows you to receive your absentee

ballot by mail, email, or fax. Check how you would like to

local election official will mail your ballot to you.

Block 6: In addition to mailing a regular ballot, Washington

provides a State Special Write-In Absentee Ballot up to 90

days before the election to any voter unable to vote using the

regular absentee voting process. This ballot allows you to vote

in local, State and Federal elections. To request it, write in

Block 6: “I am unable to vote and return a regular absentee

ballot by normal mail delivery within the time provided for

regular absentee ballots. I request a special write-in absentee

ballot.” 

Provide any information that may assist the local election

official in accepting this application.

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

How and Where to Submit Your FPCA:

Washington allows you to submit the FPCA by mail, email, or

fax. 

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

your local election office. Addresses can be found at the end of

this section.

Use the Federal Write-In Absentee 

Ballot!

Wisconsin allows you to use the Federal Write-In Absentee

Ballot (FWAB) for registration and voting in general

elections for Federal office. Uniformed service members

may also use the FWAB to vote for State and local offices,

and non-candidate ballot issues. Feel free to use the FWAB

to vote anytime before an election. 

Complete the Following Blocks of the FWAB’s

Voter Declaration/ Affirmation: 

Block 1.a: Select the category that describes you. U.S.

Citizens residing outside the U.S. temporarily are not

eligible to use this form.

for registration. Do not check this block. (Note: Wisconsin

does not require voter registration for Uniformed Service

members and their families.)

Block 2.a: Name (Last, First, Middle). Make sure the name

you entered in here matches the name that appears on your

identification document for Blocks 2.f and 2.g.

been issued any of these identification numbers, the State

shall assign a number that will serve to identify you for

voter registration purposes.

Provide your contact information to allow your local

election official to follow up if more information is

required. 

Blocks 3.a through 3.e: Complete street address of your

location in Block 6. This address must be within the county

where you claim legal voting residence.

Block 4.a: Enter your current mailing address. 

Block 6: Provide any information that may assist the local

election official in accepting this ballot or application.

citizen witness. The witness must sign and date the form.

Vote Your FWAB:

Vote for any Federal office in a general election. To find out

the races and candidates for which you can vote, go to http:/

/elections.state.wi.us/. For each office for which you vote,

write in either a candidate's name or a political party

designation. Once the ballot is complete, fold and place it in

the security envelope and seal. Place only the voted ballot

in the security envelope and do not write on the security

envelope. 

How and Where to Submit Your FWAB: 

The deadlines for submitting the FWAB are the same as for

State absentee ballots. If you receive the State ballot after

submitting the voted FWAB, you may also vote and return

the State ballot. If both ballots are received by the deadline,

Wyoming only accepts the FPCA as a temporary

registration and absentee ballot request. If you temporarily

register using the FPCA, you will only be able to vote

absentee, not in person. 

To register permanently, State in Block 6 of the FPCA that

you would like to receive a Wyoming Voter Registration

form. Complete the Wyoming Voter Registration Form and

return it to your local election official. You may also find

the form online at: http://soswy.state.wy.us/Elections/

Provide your contact information to allow your local

election official to follow up if more information is

required.

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.

Guide for Voting Assistance Officers

Your Responsibilities

As a Voting Assistance Officer (VAO), you are part of a

worldwide network of military members, U.S. government

employees, and volunteers who aid in ensuring that citizens

covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens

Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) understand their voting

rights and know how to vote absentee. These citizens

include: active duty members of the Uniformed Services or

merchant marine, their family members, and citizens

residing outside the U.S. VAOs provide these citizens with

accurate and nonpartisan voting information and assistance.

You should:

z Become familiar with www.fvap.gov, your

organization or service voting website, the FVAP

biennial Voting Action Plan, the forms and absentee

voting process. 

z Follow FVAP on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Links are available on www.fvap.gov. 

z Take advantage of FVAP training opportunities.

Workshops are offered in the Washington, D.C. area

once a month and at military installations and

Department of State locations worldwide. Contact

FVAP or your Service Voting Action Officer for a

workshop schedule. Training may also be completed

online at www.fvap.gov by downloading the workshop

slides. 

z Keep current by signing up to receive news releases,

also available online . To subscribe, email

vote@fvap.gov and provide your email address or

your full name and mailing address in the body of the

message.

z Ensure delivery of FPCAs to unit members by January

15 of each year if you are a military VAO. If you are a

civilian VAO, ensure delivery of FPCAs to overseas

citizens by August 15 of each year. 

z Assist citizens in filling out the FPCA according to

their State’s specific requirements. Remind them to

include an email address, phone and/or fax number so

that the local election offices may contact them, if

needed.

z Ensure that there is an adequate supply of FPCAs on

hand for year-round registration, absentee ballot

requests, and change of address requests for citizens

moving or changing assignment location. 

z Serve as coordinator for FVAP on-site workshops. 

z Conduct non-partisan voter registration drives. Armed

Forces Voters Week, Overseas Citizens Voters Week,

and Absentee Voting Week are excellent times to get

the word out. During Absentee Voting Week,

announce through various media that voters should

return their voted ballots immediately. If citizens have

not received their requested State ballot by this week

(or earlier based on location), encourage them to use

the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB).

z Ensure that there is an adequate supply of FWABs on

hand year-round for citizens to use in case they do not

receive their official State absentee ballot. 

z Post notices on bulletin boards and in high-traffic

areas encouraging citizens to register and vote.

z Create or continue a Continuity Folder. 

z Provide your installation directory with contact

information for referrals if you are a military VAO.

z Assign an Assistant Voting Assistance Officer to help

you fulfill your duties as VAO and provide support to

voters in your absence.

How You Can Assist Voters

Determining Voting Residency

To vote in U.S. elections, citizens must have a legal voting

residence address in a State or territory. The issue of voting

residence can be complex, depending on individual

circumstances. Even in States where laws clearly define

criteria for determining voting residence, the final

determination is generally up to each local election office. 

If you are assisting a member of the Uniformed Services or

family member, their legal voting residence is usually

defined as where they have, or have had, physical presence

and where they intend to remain or return.

If you are assisting overseas citizens, their legal voting

residence is usually the State or territory in which they

resided immediately prior to leaving the U.S. This is true

even if many years have elapsed since they lived in the

U.S., and they no longer maintain a residence in that State

or territory, or if their intent to return is uncertain. 

If a citizen is uncertain about their current legal voting

residence, advise them to examine their connection to the

State or territory in question and consult with legal counsel. 
Guide for Voting Assistance Officers 2010-11 Voting Assistance Guide

282

Asking citizens the following questions may help

advise them on voting residence:

— Where have you registered to vote or voted?

— What State or territory has issued you a driver’s

license, any other license or identification card?

— Where is your motor vehicle registered?

— Where is your home or home of record?

— What State or territory are you from?

— Where did you live before coming here?

— Where did you live immediately before leaving

the United States?

— Where does your family live?

— Where do your parents live?

— Where do you own property?

Assisting Citizens to Complete the

Federal Post Card Application (FPCA)

The FPCA can be used by military and overseas citizens to

simultaneously register to vote and request an absentee

ballot. As a VAO, you should help citizens correctly

complete their FPCAs. Local election officials determine

the citizen’s eligibility to vote based on information

provided on this application. Citizens should include all

contact information (email, telephone, fax, and/or mailing

address) on their FPCA and submit it early enough for

election officials to contact them should problems

processing the application arise. 

If you are sending FPCAs for several citizens by email or

fax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for each

form and send separately to ensure that each form is

received by the proper election official. Email addresses

and fax numbers can be found on the State’s election

website, available in the State’s pages in Chapter 2 or at

www.fvap.gov. 

Check that FPCAs Include: 

— Signature and date

— Complete voting residence address (no P.O. Box

addresses)

— Legible handwriting

— All information required by the State

— Party preference if the citizen wants to vote in

primary elections (if required by State)

— Witness or notary signature (if required by State)

Note: There will be no notary requirements for

the 2010 general election or any election for

Federal office thereafter. 

Also, be sure that the citizen mails the FPCA to their local

election official in time to be received by the State

registration and/or absentee ballot request deadline. 

Assisting Citizens to Complete the

Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)

The FWAB is available to military and overseas citizens

who have requested but have not received their State

absentee ballot in time to vote and return it before the

deadline. To use the FWAB, citizens must have applied for

a State ballot early enough so that their local election office

received the request at least 30 days before the election or

before the State’s ballot request deadline, whichever is later.

The FWAB may be used to vote for Federal offices

(President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S.

Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner) in

general elections. Some States have expanded the use of the

FWAB and accept the FWAB for voting in primary, special,

and runoff elections and/or for State and local offices. Some

States also allow the FWAB to be used for voter registration

and ballot request. 

Note: Starting January 1, 2011, the FWAB may be used by

any Uniformed Service member, family member, or

overseas citizen to vote in any primary, general, special, or

runoff election for Federal office. 

If you are sending FWABs for several citizens by email or

fax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for each

ballot and send separately to ensure that each ballot is

received by the proper election official. Email addresses

and fax numbers can be found on the State’s election

website, available in the State’s pages in Chapter 2 or at

www.fvap.gov. 

Tips for Using the FWAB: 

z Citizens who have not received a requested State

ballot in time to return it before the election should

immediately complete and submit the FWAB to their

local election office. 

z The FWAB must be received by the local election

office no later than the ballot return deadline. 

z The transmittal envelope must be signed and dated,

(and the witness or notary signature must be included

if required by State). Note: There will be no notary

requirements for the 2010 general election or any

election for Federal office thereafter.

z If citizens receive their State absentee ballot after

submitting the FWAB, they should vote and return the

ballot immediately. If the State absentee ballot arrives

by the ballot return deadline, the State will count the

State absentee ballot instead of the FWAB.
2010-11 Voting Assistance Guide Guide for Voting Assistance Officers

Legal Guidelines

VAOs may not provide partisan voting information from

candidates, political parties, or partisan organizations.

Military VAOs may receive questions from voters

regarding whether they can distribute and/or display

partisan materials at the military installations. VAOs

should consult their Commanding Officer for their

interpretation of DoD Directive 1344.10 Political

Activities by Members of the Armed Forces on Active

Duty, available at www.fvap.gov. 

VAOs should report any irregularities in the voting process

to their department or agency headquarter’s VAO. Federally

employed VAOs should refer to the Hatch Act, Title 5

U.S.C. Sec. 7321, link available at: www.fvap.gov.

VAOs can advise citizens on locating information on

candidates and issues using national, local, and Service

newspapers, magazines, radio, television, political party

and campaign committee offices, overseas newspapers and

periodicals, and State election websites. 

Continuity Folder

VAOs should create and maintain a Continuity Folder for

personal reference and for passing on to future VAOs.

It should provide basic details on absentee voting

procedures and contain anything that may help your backup

or successor. Your folder should also provide a quick

orientation of VAO voting responsibilities. It can be in the

form of a notebook, file folder, or an online community

folder. Make sure it is readily available to other VAOs and

assistants. 

Your Continuity Folder Should Contain: 

z Your VAO Designation Letter (only Military VAOs)

z FPCAs and FWABs

z Reporting requirement materials

z Your complete contact information. (Stateside VAOs

should also include local county election office contact

information.) 

z Current Voting Assistance Guide (updates available at

www.fvap.gov)

z Recent news releases/advisories

z Election Dates Calendar

z Current State Department or Service guidance

(directive, instruction, order, etc.)

z DoD Instruction 1000.04. (Federal Voting Assistance

Program) and 1344.10 (Political Activities by

Members of the Armed Forces in Active Duty). Copy

of the Hatch Act, Title 5 U.S.C. Sec. 7321 (for Federal

employees overseas) and the Voting Action Plan,

available at: www.fvap.gov

z Training materials from workshops

Many of these materials are available through your normal

service supply chain, the Installation Voting Assistance

Officer, Service Voting Action Officer or at www.fvap.gov. 

Voting Emphasis Weeks

for help.

Recommended Mailing Dates for 

the November 2010 General 

Election 

FVAP recommends that you encourage voters to send their

FPCAs by August 15, 2010 to ensure that they receive their

ballots in time to vote and return them to be counted.

— Voters in Iraq, Afghanistan, ships at sea, and

other overseas locations without access to the

military postal system should send voted ballots

by October 2, 2010

— Voters in other overseas military installations

should send voted ballots by October 9, 2010

— Stateside Uniformed Service members and their

families should send voted ballots by October 25,

2010. 

If voters do not receive State absentee ballots by October 2,

2010, they should use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot.

If they receive their State absentee ballot, they should vote

and return it. If both ballots are received by the deadline,

only the State ballot will be counted.

Share Your Good Ideas 

After each Federal election, the Services and Department of

State issue After-Action Reports that include good ideas

submitted by VAOs to improve the absentee voting process. 

Good ideas are processes and procedures that help the

citizens you assist and help you to perform your duties.

Good ideas enhance lines of communication among VAOs

at all levels and enable you to improve your voting

assistance efforts.

Your good ideas may come from a variety of sources:

— Personal experiences 

— Assessments, audits, and appraisals

— Training evaluations

— Operational Readiness Reviews

— Critiques, analyses, and investigations

— Process improvement initiatives

— VAO training

— Voting activities, such as registration drives

Have a good idea? Submit it to your Service Voting Action

Officer. (Contact information is on the inside front cover.)

Overseas citizen organization VAOs may submit their ideas

directly to FVAP via email at vote@fvap.gov. Be sure to

include a clear statement of your idea and your complete

contact information.

Uniformed Services/Family Members

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I vote absentee?

You can vote absentee in local, State, and Federal elections

if you are a U.S. citizen 18 years or older and are an active

duty member of the Armed Forces, Merchant Marine,

Public Health Service, NOAA, a family member of the

above, or a U.S. citizen residing outside the United States.

Do I have to be registered to vote absentee?

Requirements vary from State to State. Most States and

territories require registration to vote absentee. Voter

registration and absentee ballot request can be done at the

same time by submitting the Federal Post Card Application

(FPCA).

How do I register to vote and/or request an

absentee ballot?

You may register and request an absentee ballot with a

single form: The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).

This application form is accepted by all States and

territories and is postage- paid in the U.S. mail, including

the Military Postal System and State Department Pouch

mail.

If mailing through a foreign postal system, you must affix

the proper postage. Be sure to write “USA” after the city,

State, and Zip Code of the election office.

Hard copies of the form can be obtained from your

installation's Voting Assistance Officer or requested directly

from FVAP. An online version of the FPCA is available at:

www.fvap.gov, along with a prepaid return envelope

template.

Your Federal Post Card Application must be completed,

printed, signed, dated, and submitted directly to your local

election official. Some States allow it to be submitted

electronically. Check www.fvap.gov to see what your State

allows.

Where is my “legal voting residence”?

For voting purposes, “legal voting residence” can be the

State or territory where you last resided prior to entering

military service OR the State or territory that you have since

claimed as your legal residence.

Even though you may no longer maintain formal ties to that

residence, the address determines your proper voting

jurisdiction. To claim a new legal residence, you must have

simultaneous physical presence and the intent to return to

that location as your primary residence.

Uniformed Service members and their eligible dependents

may change their legal residence every time they change

permanent duty stations, or they may retain their legal

residence without change. This may mean that the

Uniformed Service member has a different legal voting

residence than his/her family members. A Judge Advocate

General officer or legal counsel should be consulted before

legal residence is changed because there are usually other

factors that should be considered besides voting.

Can I register and vote in-person where I am

stationed?

Uniformed Service members may register and vote in the

U.S. State or territory where stationed if they change their

legal residence to that State or territory, even if they live on

a military installation. Be advised that there may be legal

obligations, such as taxation, if you change your State of

residence. Therefore, consult a Judge Advocate General

officer or legal counsel before making such a decision.

Currently, there are no provisions for in-person voting or

on-site registration for personnel stationed outside the U.S.

Voting Assistance Officers can assist personnel and family

members in completing the Federal Post Card Application

or other election materials for their State and provide other

absentee voting information.

My family members are not in the military. Can

they also vote absentee?

Yes. Eligible spouses and children (U.S. citizens, 18 years

or older) of Uniformed Service personnel may vote

absentee. Some States allow children of military personnel

residing overseas who are U.S. citizens but who have never

resided in the U.S. to claim one of their U.S. citizen parent's

legal State of residence as their own. Check out

www.fvap.gov for a list of States allowing this.

Where do I send my Federal Post Card

Application?

Your Federal Post Card Application must be completed,

printed, signed, dated, and submitted directly to your local

election official. These officials will handle the processing

and distribution of your absentee ballots and may need to

contact you for further information or clarification. To

facilitate this process, please provide a current email

address, phone and fax number on your application.

When mailing election materials to my State or

territory, do I have to pay postage?

When mailed from any U.S. post office, U.S. embassy or

consulate, or APO/FPO mail facility, the hardcopy Federal

Post Card Application is postage-paid. In order to receive

free postage, the online version of the form must be mailed
2010-2011 Voting Assistance Guide

288

in an envelope printed with the prepaid return envelope

template, available at: www.fvap.gov. You may also mail

the completed form in an envelope with proper postage

affixed. Ensure that your form is postmarked (see

postmarking instructions below) and sent to arrive before

your State's specific deadline. You must pay postage if the

materials are mailed from a non-U.S. postal facility.

What is a postmark and how do I make sure I get

one?

A postmark is a postal marking made on a piece of mail

indicating the date and time that the item was accepted by

the postal service. Postmarks are used to determine if voting

materials have been mailed by State deadlines. Due to

varying mail pick up times, the day you 'mail' your election

materials may not be the day the postal facility postmarks it.

You may ask the mail clerk to hand stamp the election

material so that a date is clearly visible. In certain situations

a handwritten postmark and signature from you or a

notarizing official may be sufficient.

How do I know if my ballot has been received?

All uniformed service members and their family members

may use their State’s online service to check the status of

their registration and track their absentee ballots. Check

your State specific instructions at www.fvap.gov. 

Overseas uniformed service members and their family

members with access to Military Postal Service, may use

the "Prepaid Expedited Mail - Label 11-DOD.” This label is

available at APO/FPO locations and can only be used for

the general election. It provides expedited mail service up

to seven days prior to the election. You can return your

ballot with this label attached at any MPO/FPO, American

embassy, or consulate. A portion of the label is retained by

you for tracking your ballot through the U.S. Postal Service. 

When should I apply for an absentee ballot?

We recommend that you register to vote/request an absentee

ballot in January of each year or whenever you change your

mailing address. If you are using regular mail to register to

vote, receive your absentee ballot, and return your voted

ballot, please mail your FPCA 60 days before Election Day

or earlier if you are living in an area where mail service is

slow or unreliable. Some States allow you to submit your

FPCA electronically; check your State instructions

www.fvap.gov.

When should I receive my ballot?

States are required to transmit ballots 45 days before the

election. A few States have been granted waivers for the

2010 general election and will send ballots less than 45

days before the election. Check your State specific

instructions at www.fvap.gov.

What happens if I do not receive a ballot?

If you requested an absentee ballot but have not received

one in time to return it by the voted ballot receipt deadline,

you can still vote by using the back-up Federal Write-In

Absentee Ballot (FWAB). In order to be eligible to use this

back-up ballot, you must:

 Be absent from your voting residence;

 Have applied for a regular ballot early enough so the

request is received by the appropriate local election

official no later than the State deadline; or the date that

is 30 days before the general election; AND

 Have not received the requested regular absentee

ballot from the State.

Always complete and return your State absentee ballot

regardless of when you receive it, even if you have already

submitted a back-up FWAB. Your local election official

will ensure that only one of the ballots is counted.

Where can I get a back-up Federal Write-In

Absentee Ballot?

Hardcopies of the back-up Federal Write-In Absentee

Ballot (FWAB) are available through Voting Assistance

Officers at military installations or at U.S. embassies/

consulates.

The FWAB is also available at: www.fvap.gov. It must be

completed, printed, signed, dated, and submitted to your

local election official. Check out your State specific

instructions, witness requirements, deadlines, and mailing

addresses at: www.fvap.gov.

Overseas Citizens

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I vote absentee?

You may vote absentee in any election for Federal office if

you are a U.S. citizen 18 years or older and are a U.S.

citizen residing outside the United States. Only certain

States allows U.S. citizens who have never resided in the

United States to vote. For more information, go to: http://

fvap.gov/reference/nvr-res.html. 

Do I have to be registered to vote absentee?

Requirements vary from State to State. Most States and

territories require registration to vote absentee. Voter

registration and absentee ballot request can be done at the

(FPCA).

How do I register to vote and/or request an

absentee ballot?

You may register and request an absentee ballot with a

single form: The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).

This application form is accepted by all States and

territories and is postage-paid in the U.S. mail, including

the Military Postal System and State Department Pouch

mail. However, if you place the form in the postal system of

the country where you now reside, you need to place that

country’s proper postage on the form before mailing. 

If mailing through a foreign postal system, you must affix

the proper postage. Be sure to write “USA” after the city,

State, and Zip Code of the election office.

Hard copies of the form can be obtained from a U.S.

embassy or consulate or requested directly from FVAP. An

online version of the FPCA is available at www.fvap.gov,

along with a prepaid return envelope template.

Your Federal Post Card Application must be completed,

printed, signed, dated, and submitted directly to your local

election official. Some States allow it to be submitted

electronically. Check www.fvap.gov to see what your State

allows.

If I do not maintain a legal residence in the U.S.,

where is my “legal State of residence”?

Your “legal State of residence” for voting purposes is the

State or territory where you resided immediately prior to

your departure from the United States. This applies to

overseas citizens even though you may not have property or

other ties in your last State of residence and your intent to

return to that State may be uncertain.

When completing block 3 of the Federal Post Card

Application, be sure to enter the entire mailing address of

your last residence, including rural route and number. That

address determines your proper voting jurisdiction.

Some States allow children of U.S. citizens residing

overseas who are U.S. citizens but who have never resided

in the U.S., to claim one of their parent's legal State of

residence as their own. Check out www.fvap.gov for a list

of States allowing this.

postmarking instructions below) and sent to arrive before

your State's specific deadline. You must pay postage if the

materials are mailed from a non-U.S. postal facility.

It is recommended that voted ballots be mailed from your

location outside the U.S. rather than be given to another

individual to be placed in the U.S. postal system. If the

ballot is postmarked from any location inside the U.S. your

local election official may not count your ballot.
