Request Your 2024 Ballot
Most U.S. citizens living outside the United States are eligible to vote absentee!
The first step is to register via a special federal form for overseas voters, and we are here to help.
This form takes 5-7 minutes to fill out, and you will need:
- Your state identification number or social security number ?
- Your address in the state where you were last domiciled prior to leaving the U.S. ?
We recommend that you submit a new form (called an FPCA) every calendar year — and each time you move to a new address.

How would you like to receive your voting materials?
We strongly recommend you choose “email or online” to make sure you get your blank ballot in a timely manner. You will always have the option to print out the ballot and return it by postal mail. Some states also give you the option to return the ballot electronically too.
Where are you living now?
Your election official will need to confirm that you are living abroad, even if you elect to receive your blank ballot electronically.
- This has to be your residential address outside the United States.
- If you can't receive mail at this address, please provide both your current foreign address and a mail forwarding address.
Confirm your U.S. Voting Address
Your U.S. voting address is used to determine where you are eligible to vote absentee.
- It is usually the last place you lived before moving abroad.
- This IS NOT where your voting materials will be sent.
- You do not need to have any current ties with this address.
- This cannot be a P.O. Box.

Print, Sign, and Scan
We work with local election officials across the country, and unfortunately we’ve gotten feedback from your jurisdiction that while they will accept the form via email, they are still requiring you to print out and sign the form in ink (a “wet signature”). We know that requiring a printer is an added inconvenience, and we are actively working to make this process easier.
