U.S. citizens may vote in the state where they last resided immediately prior to departing the United States, even if many years have elapsed and the citizen maintains no residence in the state. Most states permit these citizens to vote in elections for Federal offices only, although some states may send a ballot containing local, state and Federal offices. Absentee voters should request their ballots at least 60 days prior to the election. For more information on voting, contact the Consular Section of your nearest U.S. Embassy. Following the training program, participants volunteer their time to help taxpayers with questions on their tax returns.
Volunteers gain satisfaction from providing a valuable service to others in the community.
