1. What is the process to vote as a US citizen living abroad?

To vote in US elections while living (or working or traveling) abroad, you need to:

1. Submit the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) form to your Local Election Official in the US. This will register you to vote and request a ballot for that calendar year. If you are already registered to vote, you still need to submit the FPCA to request your absentee ballot every calendar year.
   
   VoteFromAbroad (VFA) will assist you in filling out and submitting your FPCA to your Local Election Official in the US.
   
   
2. Wait to receive a blank absentee ballot from your Local Election Official, sent either by email, fax, website link, or postal mail.
   
   
3. Fill in the ballot, then submit the voted ballot to your Local Election Official by the deadline. Depending on your state, you may be able to submit the voted ballot by email, fax, or online upload. Postal mail is accepted in all states.
