DAUK Back-Up Ballot (FWAB) Online Information Session
Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) Online Information Session
The FWAB or "Back-Up Ballot" is an important safeguard for overseas voters if their official absentee ballot doesn't arrive in time to be returned by their state's deadline.
Completing a backup ballot now will improve the chances that your vote will arrive in time to be counted. You should still receive your state ballot via email around September 19. Fill that out and mail it in too. If both ballots arrive by the deadline, the FWAB will be discarded. This is not voting twice.
This includes: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. This also includes: Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Texas - unless you are military or in a hostile zone.
Join us on Saturday, September 12 at 10:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. BST for a practical session covering:
- When a voter should use a FWAB.
- How to complete and submit a FWAB correctly.
- How to help overseas voters understand their options if they're worried their ballot won't arrive in time.
This training is ideal for anyone who might need to complete a FWAB, volunteers who phonebank, and take part in voter assistance drives. Whether you're supporting other voters or simply want to understand your own voting options, we'd love to have you join us.
