You can still register and request your ballot from your state of legal residence today if you have not already done so – but remember that many states have registration deadlines approaching. You can use FVAP's easy online assistant at https://www.fvap.gov/FPCA to walk you through each section of the form. After you finish filling out the FPCA, print it, sign and date it, and then send it directly to your election office. Most states accept the FPCA by email or fax while some require it by mail. Check your state-specific guidelines at FVAP.gov. Once you receive your requested absentee ballot, vote and return it as soon as you get it. Remember to carefully follow the instructions, especially if a "security envelope" is required, and sign the package as indicated when returning it. To save time, you can send voted ballots electronically if allowed by state law. Check to see if your state accepts completed absentee ballots by email, fax, or via an online portal at FVAP.gov/guide. If your requested ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) immediately at https://www.fvap.gov/FWAB. It is a backup ballot, so if your official absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, complete and send in the official ballot, too. Only one will be counted. You can also check the status of your ballot -- some states have online ballot status tools - select your state at https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter and then click "Check the status of your voted ballot." If an online tool is not available, contact your local election office directly at https://www.fvap.gov/search-offices. To find your state's election website for specific information on candidates, elections, contact information, and links to your local election offices, visit our contact page.
