U.S. citizens can still vote in elections even if you are overseas, but you will need to request an absentee ballot.
Your vote counts! Many U.S. elections within the past ten years have been decided by a margin of victory of less than 0.1%. All states are required to count every absentee ballot as long as it is valid and reaches local election officials by the absentee ballot receipt deadline.
Be an educated voter. Check out the FVAP links page for helpful resources that will aid your research of candidates and issues. You can also read national and hometown newspapers online and search the Internet to locate articles and information.
If you haven’t already done so, now is the best time to check your state’s deadlines and get the overseas voting process started to ensure your voice is heard!
