Voters who do not receive their requested state absentee ballot in time to return it by the ballot return deadline, can send the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) to their election office as a backup ballot. If the state absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, the voter may complete and submit the official ballot, too. Only one ballot will be counted. FVAP offers an email-to-fax forwarding service for voters from states that allow voted ballots to be faxed, but do not allow email return of voted ballots. Voters who do not have access to a fax machine can email their completed ballot to fax@FVAP.gov and FVAP will forward the ballot as a fax to the appropriate election office. Additional Information for non-UOCAVA voters: If you are a uniformed service member and you are currently stationed in the same location as your voting address, you may visit vote.gov to register to vote and request information from your local election office to register and vote locally. The Department of Defense is required to send this email notification starting 90 days before each election for federal office. This information is current as of October 25, 2021. As updates may occur, please check the election calendars and state guidelines at FVAP.gov for real time information. ### If you would like more information on the Federal Voting Assistance Program, or need help with the absentee voting process, please go to FVAP.gov, call 703-588-1584 (toll free 1-800-438-VOTE or DSN 425-1584), or email (vote@fvap.gov). |
