7 Voting Assistance Guide How to Vote Absentee Chapter 1 HOW TO VOTE ABSENTEE Can You Vote Absentee? In order to vote in U.S. elections, you must be: a citizen of the United States on the date of the election in which you wish to vote, and at least 18 years old on Election Day. (Some States allow 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections if they will be 18 on or before the general election.) The absentee voting process in this book applies to you if you are: an active duty member of the U.S. Uniformed Services or merchant marine, a family member (spouse or dependent) a U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S. If you are not one of the above but will be away from your polling place on Election Day, you may still be able to vote absentee according to your State s absentee voting guidelines. Contact your election office or check your State election website for more information. State websites and local election office addresses are available in your State s pages in Chapter 2. How Do You Vote Absentee? Step 1: Register and Request Your Absentee Ballot You must register and request an absentee ballot in your State of legal residence by completing a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) according to your State or territory s specific instructions and submitting it to your local election office. In all States and territories, one FPCA can be used to request ballots for primary and general elections for Federal offices (President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner). You should submit a new FPCA each year and whenever you change your mailing address. The FPCA: is available at military bases, U.S. embassies and consulates, election organizations, and corporations worldwide. is available at along with a pre-paid envelope template for submitting by mail. is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system, including APO and FPO addresses, and through diplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies and consulates. If submitting the FPCA from outside the United States using a foreign mail service, you must affix proper postage and include USA in the mailing address. may be sent using private courier services. However, they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and may require the physical address of your local election office. Many States and territories allow you to return your FPCA by or fax. Consult your State s pages in Chapter 2 to see what your State allows. The FPCA and mailing instructions are illustrated on pages 4-5. Step 2: Your Election Official Processes Your Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) and Sends You a Blank Ballot Your local election official will process your FPCA to determine if you meet the jurisdiction s residency requirements and will decide which ballot to send you. Your local election official will contact you if there are any questions or if your application has been denied. Therefore, it is important to provide your complete contact information on your FPCA. FVAP urges you to contact your local election office with questions on the status of your FPCA. Some States have voter registration verification websites where you can find your voter registration status. Links to these sites and contact information for local election officials can be found at 1

8 How to Vote Absentee Voting Assistance Guide Step 3: Vote Your State Ballot or Use the Back-Up Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) Vote and return your State ballot as soon as you receive it. If you have registered and requested your ballot by your State s request deadline (or at least 30 days before the election, whichever is later), you may use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) any time before the election. Your completed FWAB must be received by your local election office by the deadline for receipt of State absentee ballots for that election. In most cases you can only use the FWAB to vote for Federal offices in general elections. Some States have expanded the use of the FWAB to include voting in primary, run-off, and special elections or for offices other than Federal offices. Some States have also expanded the use of the FWAB for registration and ballot request. Consult your State s pages in Chapter 2 to see what your State allows. The FWAB consists of: Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot Instructions Voter s Declaration/Affirmation Official Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot with Security Envelope attached Mailing Envelope The FWAB is also available at The online version of the FWAB does not contain the security or the mailing envelope; however, you may use two plain envelopes: mark one as the security envelope and use the other as a mailing envelope. You may use the online prepaid envelope template as the mailing envelope. To complete your FWAB, follow your State s instructions in Chapter 2. Once finished, place your voted ballot inside the security envelope and seal it. Do not write on the outside of the security envelope. Place the security envelope, along with the Voter s Declaration/Affirmation, inside the mailing envelope. The FWAB: is available at military bases, U.S. embassies and consulates, election organizations, and corporations worldwide and at is postage-paid within the U.S. postal system, including APO and FPO addresses and through diplomatic pouches at some U.S. embassies and consulates.

However, they may not deliver to Post Office Boxes and may require the physical address of your local election office. Many States and territories allow you to return your FWAB by or fax.

306 Wyoming Voting Assistance Guide 280

307 Voting Assistance Guide Guide for Voting Assistance Officers Chapter 3 Guide for Voting Assistance Officers Your Responsibilities As a Voting Assistance Officer (VAO), you are part of a worldwide network of military members, U.S. government employees, and volunteers who aid in ensuring that citizens covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) understand their voting rights and know how to vote absentee. These citizens include: active duty members of the Uniformed Services or merchant marine, their family members, and citizens residing outside the U.S. VAOs provide these citizens with accurate and nonpartisan voting information and assistance. You should: Become familiar with your organization or service voting website, the FVAP biennial Voting Action Plan, the forms and absentee voting process. Follow FVAP on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Links are available on Take advantage of FVAP training opportunities. Workshops are offered in the Washington, D.C. area once a month and at military installations and Department of State locations worldwide. Contact FVAP or your Service Voting Action Officer for a workshop schedule. Training may also be completed online at by downloading the workshop slides. Keep current by signing up to receive news releases, also available online. To subscribe, vote@fvap.ncr.gov and provide your address or your full name and mailing address in the body of the message. Ensure delivery of FPCAs to unit members by January 15 of each year if you are a military VAO. If you are a civilian VAO, ensure delivery of FPCAs to overseas citizens by August 15 of each year. Assist citizens in filling out the FPCA according to their State s specific requirements. Remind them to include an address, phone and/or fax number so that the local election offices may contact them, if needed. Ensure that there is an adequate supply of FPCAs on hand for year-round registration, absentee ballot requests, and change of address requests for citizens moving or changing assignment location. Serve as coordinator for FVAP on-site workshops. Conduct non-partisan voter registration drives. Armed Forces Voters Week, Overseas Citizens Voters Week, and Absentee Voting Week are excellent times to get the word out. During Absentee Voting Week, announce through various media that voters should return their voted ballots immediately. If citizens have not received their requested State ballot by this week (or earlier based on location), encourage them to use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Ensure that there is an adequate supply of FWABs on hand year-round for citizens to use in case they do not receive their official State absentee ballot. Post notices on bulletin boards and in high-traffic areas encouraging citizens to register and vote. Create or continue a Continuity Folder. Provide your installation directory with contact information for referrals if you are a military VAO. Assign an Assistant Voting Assistance Officer to help you fulfill your duties as VAO and provide support to voters in your absence. How You Can Assist Voters Determining Voting Residency To vote in U.S. elections, citizens must have a legal voting residence address in a State or territory. The issue of voting residence can be complex, depending on individual circumstances. Even in States where laws clearly define criteria for determining voting residence, the final determination is generally up to each local election office. If you are assisting a member of the Uniformed Services or family member, their legal voting residence is usually defined as where they have, or have had, physical presence and where they intend to remain or return. If you are assisting overseas citizens, their legal voting residence is usually the State or territory in which they resided immediately prior to leaving the U.S. This is true even if many years have elapsed since they lived in the U.S., and they no longer maintain a residence in that State or territory, or if their intent to return is uncertain. If a citizen is uncertain about their current legal voting residence, advise them to examine their connection to the State or territory in question and consult with legal counsel. 281

308 Guide for Voting Assistance Officers Voting Assistance Guide Asking citizens the following questions may help advise them on voting residence: Where have you registered to vote or voted? What State or territory has issued you a driver s license, any other license or identification card? Where is your motor vehicle registered? Where is your home or home of record? What State or territory are you from? Where did you live before coming here? Where did you live immediately before leaving the United States? Where does your family live? Where do your parents live? Where do you own property? Assisting Citizens to Complete the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) The FPCA can be used by military and overseas citizens to simultaneously register to vote and request an absentee ballot. As a VAO, you should help citizens correctly complete their FPCAs. Local election officials determine the citizen s eligibility to vote based on information provided on this application. Citizens should include all contact information ( , telephone, fax, and/or mailing address) on their FPCA and submit it early enough for election officials to contact them should problems processing the application arise. If you are sending FPCAs for several citizens by or fax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for each form and send separately to ensure that each form is received by the proper election official. addresses and fax numbers can be found on the State s election website, available in the State s pages in Chapter 2 or at Check that FPCAs Include: Signature and date Complete voting residence address (no P.O. Box addresses) Legible handwriting All information required by the State Party preference if the citizen wants to vote in primary elections (if required by State) Witness or notary signature (if required by State) Note: There will be no notary requirements for the 2010 general election or any election for Federal office thereafter. Also, be sure that the citizen mails the FPCA to their local election official in time to be received by the State registration and/or absentee ballot request deadline. Assisting Citizens to Complete the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) The FWAB is available to military and overseas citizens who have requested but have not received their State absentee ballot in time to vote and return it before the deadline. To use the FWAB, citizens must have applied for a State ballot early enough so that their local election office received the request at least 30 days before the election or before the State s ballot request deadline, whichever is later. The FWAB may be used to vote for Federal offices (President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner) in general elections. Some States have expanded the use of the FWAB and accept the FWAB for voting in primary, special, and runoff elections and/or for State and local offices. Some States also allow the FWAB to be used for voter registration and ballot request. Note: Starting January 1, 2011, the FWAB may be used by any Uniformed Service member, family member, or overseas citizen to vote in any primary, general, special, or runoff election for Federal office. If you are sending FWABs for several citizens by or fax, use a separate Electronic Transmission Sheet for each ballot and send separately to ensure that each ballot is received by the proper election official. addresses and fax numbers can be found on the State s election website, available in the State s pages in Chapter 2 or at Tips for Using the FWAB: Citizens who have not received a requested State ballot in time to return it before the election should immediately complete and submit the FWAB to their local election office. The FWAB must be received by the local election office no later than the ballot return deadline. The transmittal envelope must be signed and dated, (and the witness or notary signature must be included if required by State). Note: There will be no notary requirements for the 2010 general election or any election for Federal office thereafter. If citizens receive their State absentee ballot after submitting the FWAB, they should vote and return the ballot immediately. If the State absentee ballot arrives by the ballot return deadline, the State will count the State absentee ballot instead of the FWAB. 282

309 Voting Assistance Guide Guide for Voting Assistance Officers Legal Guidelines VAOs may not provide partisan voting information from candidates, political parties, or partisan organizations. Military VAOs may receive questions from voters regarding whether they can distribute and/or display partisan materials at the military installations. VAOs should consult their Commanding Officer for their interpretation of DoD Directive Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces on Active Duty, available at VAOs should report any irregularities in the voting process to their department or agency headquarter s VAO. Federally employed VAOs should refer to the Hatch Act, Title 5 U.S.C. Sec. 7321, link available at: VAOs can advise citizens on locating information on candidates and issues using national, local, and Service newspapers, magazines, radio, television, political party and campaign committee offices, overseas newspapers and periodicals, and State election websites. Continuity Folder VAOs should create and maintain a Continuity Folder for personal reference and for passing on to future VAOs. It should provide basic details on absentee voting procedures and contain anything that may help your backup or successor. Your folder should also provide a quick orientation of VAO voting responsibilities. It can be in the form of a notebook, file folder, or an online community folder. Make sure it is readily available to other VAOs and assistants. Your Continuity Folder Should Contain: Your VAO Designation Letter (only Military VAOs) FPCAs and FWABs Reporting requirement materials Your complete contact information. (Stateside VAOs should also include local county election office contact information.)

313 Uniformed Services/Family Members Frequently Asked Questions Can I vote absentee? You can vote absentee in local, State, and Federal elections if you are a U.S. citizen 18 years or older and are an active duty member of the Armed Forces, Merchant Marine, Public Health Service, NOAA, a family member of the above, or a U.S. citizen residing outside the United States. Do I have to be registered to vote absentee? Registration requirements vary from State to State. Most States and territories require registration to vote absentee. Voter registration and absentee ballot request can be done at the same time by submitting the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). If you are already registered to vote and only wish to request a ballot, you should submit your FPCA as soon as possible. How do I register to vote and/or request an absentee ballot? You may register and request an absentee ballot with a single form: The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). This application form is accepted by all States and territories and is postage- paid in the U.S. mail, including the Military Postal System and State Department Pouch mail. If mailing through a foreign postal system, you must affix the proper postage. Be sure to write USA after the city, State, and Zip Code of the election office. Hard copies of the form can be obtained from your installation's Voting Assistance Officer or requested directly from FVAP. An online version of the FPCA is available at: along with a prepaid return envelope template. Your Federal Post Card Application must be completed, printed, signed, dated, and submitted directly to your local election official. Where is my legal voting residence? For voting purposes, legal voting residence can be the State or territory where you last resided prior to entering military service OR the State or territory that you have since claimed as your legal residence. Even though you may no longer maintain formal ties to that residence, the address determines your proper voting jurisdiction. To claim a new legal residence, you must have simultaneous physical presence and the intent to return to that location as your primary residence. Uniformed Service members and their eligible dependents may change their legal residence every time they change permanent duty stations, or they may retain their legal residence without change. This may mean that the Uniformed Service member has a different legal voting residence than his/her family members. A Judge Advocate General officer or legal counsel should be consulted before legal residence is changed because there are usually other factors that should be considered besides voting. Can I register and vote in-person where I am stationed? Uniformed Service members may register and vote in the U.S. State or territory where stationed if they change their legal residence to that State or territory, even if they live on a military installation. Be advised that there may be legal obligations, such as taxation, if you change your State of residence. Therefore, consult a Judge Advocate General officer or legal counsel before making such a decision. Currently, there are no provisions for in-person voting or on-site registration for personnel stationed outside the U.S. Voting Assistance Officers can assist personnel and family members in completing the Federal Post Card Application or other election materials for their State and provide other absentee voting information. My family members are not in the military. Can they also vote absentee? Yes. Eligible spouses and children (U.S. citizens, 18 years or older) of Uniformed Service personnel may vote absentee. Some States allow children of military personnel residing overseas who are U.S. citizens but who have never resided in the U.S. to claim one of their U.S. citizen parent's legal State of residence as their own. Check out for a list of States allowing this. If I am required to have election materials notarized, how do I do it? Notarization can be performed by a Voting Assistance Officer, U.S. Commissioned Officer, embassy or consular officer, or other official authorized to administer oaths. Most States and territories do not require notarization of voting materials; therefore consult your State's requirements. Note: There will be no notary requirements for the 2010 general election or any election for Federal office thereafter. Where do I send my Federal Post Card Application? Your Federal Post Card Application must be completed, printed, signed, dated, and submitted directly to your local election official. These officials will handle the processing and distribution of your absentee ballots and may need to contact you for further information or clarification. To 0

314 Voting Assistance Guide facilitate this process, please provide a current address, phone and fax number on your application. When mailing election materials to my State or territory, do I have to pay postage? When mailed from any U.S. post office, U.S. embassy or consulate, or APO/FPO mail facility, the hardcopy Federal Post Card Application is postage-paid. In order to receive free postage, the online version of the form must be mailed in an envelope printed with the prepaid return envelope template, available at: You may also mail the completed form in an envelope with proper postage affixed. Ensure that your form is postmarked (see postmarking instructions below) and sent to arrive before your State's specific deadline. You must pay postage if the materials are mailed from a non-u.s. postal facility. What is a postmark and how do I make sure I get one? A postmark is a postal marking made on a piece of mail indicating the date and time that the item was accepted by the postal service. Postmarks are used to determine if voting materials have been mailed by State deadlines. Due to varying mail pick up times, the day you 'mail' your election materials may not be the day the postal facility postmarks it. You may ask the mail clerk to hand stamp the election material so that a date is clearly visible. In certain situations a handwritten postmark and signature from you or a notarizing official may be sufficient. When is the best time to apply for an absentee ballot? We always recommend that you register to vote/request an absentee ballot in January of each year. If you are using regular mail to register to vote, receive your absentee ballot, and return your voted ballot, be sure to allow plenty of time. We recommend mailing your FPCA 60 days before Election Day, or earlier if you are living in an area where mail service is slow or unreliable, and whenever you have a new mailing address. Check your State instructions for specific information, or contact your local election official to ensure your current registration is valid. When should I receive my ballot? Most States and territories begin mailing ballots days before an election. What happens if I do not receive a ballot from my local election office? If you requested an absentee ballot but have not received one in time to return it by the voted ballot receipt deadline, you can still vote by using the back-up Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). In order to be eligible to use this back-up ballot, you must: Be absent from your voting residence; Have applied for a regular ballot early enough so the request is received by the appropriate local election official no later than the State deadline; or the date that is 30 days before the general election; AND Have not received the requested regular absentee ballot from the State. Always complete and return your State absentee ballot regardless of when you receive it, even if you have already submitted a back-up FWAB. Your local election official will ensure that only one of the ballots is counted. Where can I get a back-up Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot? Hardcopies of the back-up Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) are available through Voting Assistance Officers at military installations or at U.S. embassies/ consulates.
