Your State RulesFAQs

2. What is my "US voting address"?


As a US citizen living abroad, your “voting address” is the street address of the last place you lived in the US.

This general rule applies even if you or your family no longer has any connection to the residence or to that state, or you don't intend to return to that address or that state, or even if the residence no longer exists. It also doesn't matter if you were ever registered to vote at that address or if you only lived there as a baby or child. 

If you are a US citizen who has never lived in the US (not even as a baby or child), your “voting address” is the street address of the last place your US citizen parent (or spouse) lived in the US. If both of your parents are US citizens, you may use the last US address of either one.
