Submitting your sealed ballot to the U.S. Consulate:  We'd be happy to accept your sealed voting ballot! Once it is received, we will send it to election officials via diplomatic pouch. Delivery by diplomatic pouch may take a couple of weeks. Please note that it may be faster for you to mail your ballot directly to election officials using the appropriate postage and the fastest method of mailing available. 

If you choose to print and mail the ballot request form (a.k.a. the Federal Post Card Application), we can deliver it to the United States for you free of charge.  Be sure to sign and date the form, then print the postage-paid template from FVAP.gov (https://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/Forms/fwab_envelope.pdf) onto any available blank envelope. Address it to your local election official and bring it to the U.S. Consulate General Halifax.  You do not require an appointment to submit voting forms.  The Consulate’s address is:

1969 Upper Water Street, Suite 904
Purdy’s Wharf, Tower II
Halifax, Nova Scotia

Monday – Friday
12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Upon your arrival, a consulate guard will deposit your sealed submission in a secure box inside the controlled entry area.  Your envelope will be postmarked the day it is received an it will enter the U.S. postal system.  Sealed ballots, addressed to your local election officials, will also be accepted during the above-listed hours.
