🇺🇸 HAVE YOUR BALLOT?

VOTE and return your ballot NOW. Rules for ballot return vary by state, even by voting region, so always read the instructions that came with your ballot carefully.

If mailing your ballot from France:

  • Regular international mail from France via La Poste can take a week or more to arrive, depending on mail route conditions!
  • If mailing more than 2 sheets of A4 paper you should add additional postage. (2,60 EUR lets you mail a letter up to 100g.)

If faxing your ballot: Please read the instructions carefully for your state. Note that the Federal Voter Assistance Program has a FREE email-to-fax service for those whose states allow faxed ballot return.

🇺🇸 WAITING FOR YOUR BALLOT?

Take action! Call or email your local elections official right away! Confirm that your registration is in order, and ask them to send you a ballot. (Be sure to check your email SPAM folder if you have asked that your ballot be sent to you by email/online!)

Vote with the "backup ballot", or the FWAB (Federal Write In Absentee Ballot.)This is a special ballot available to be used only by those registered as military or civilian overseas absentee voters. Vote with the backup ballot now while you wait for your state ballot to arrive. When your state ballot arrives you should vote it too! If your state has both ballots on election day they will count the state ballot.

🇺🇸 STILL NEED A BALLOT? DO IT NOW!

For many it is still possible! To fill out a registration/ballot request form, also known as an FPCA, go here: http://www.votefromabroad.org.

Answer the questions, then print, sign and return the forms as instructed. We strongly advise that you choose to receive your ballot by EMAIL/ONLINE, and that you send in your signed form by EMAIL.

🇺🇸 MISSED YOUR DEADLINE? DO IT ANYWAY!

For states where deadlines have passed, sending in a ballot registration/request form now can still be worthwhile as it will bring your registration information current with your state, and help you be ready for the next election — there are already three special state elections scheduled for 2019!

🇺🇸 DEMOCRACY WORKS WHEN DEMOCRACY WORKS.

As critical as these elections are, it will take more than one election to make things right. Stay engaged. Vote, volunteer. Check out the DAF events calendar for Election Results events, and other upcoming events near you. Click here.
