STATES WHERE YOU CAN FAX YOUR BALLOT:

 

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, and you can still get your vote in. If you vote in Alaska, California, Florida, Louisiana or Oklahoma, your state lets you return your voted ballot by fax.

You could send it by postal mail, but with mail running slowly and the election this close, that’s ill-advised. Fax it instead. It’s fast, and it’s free.

Haven’t requested your ballot yet? There’s still time.

👉 Request your ballot today at VoteFromAbroad.org.

Ask for your ballot to be sent by email, then send it back by email or fax, whichever your state allows.
