Welcome! Democrats Abroad South Africa (DASA) is working to find Americans living in South Africa so we can ensure you have the information and encouragement you need to vote in US elections.

HOW TO VOTE FROM SOUTH AFRICA


2026 Voting Guide for American Citizens in South Africa

Be prepared for elections in 2026 and every year. Every US Citizen living outside of the country should submit an FPCA (request your ballot) at the beginning of each year. Please go to www.votefromabroad.org to request your ballot, find info on upcoming elections, and see state-specific info. We can't waste even one ballot! Be ready to vote. 

The linked guidelines aim to provide you with information and resources to facilitate the process of voting from South Africa. 
 
If you're a U.S. citizen or dual citizen abroad, you have the right to vote from abroad in the 2026 elections. 
 
IMPORTANT: Each state has different rules, timeframes and processes. Please check your state-specific information now and plan. Follow your state’s timeframes and procedures carefully to ensure your 2026 vote counts!

Start at www.votefromabroad.org to request your ballot and check your state rules & procedures.
