Voting Overseas

U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote as absentee voters, provided they are eligible to vote in their state.

Complete and send an overseas voter registration/ballot request form to your election office in the U.S. This is one specific form that will register you as an overseas voter and request your absentee ballot – simultaneously.
