Bisbee Gal Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 This site covers it all and has a link to the FPCA (Federal Post Card Application). The site suggests you register every year in January so you are sure to get absentee ballots, especially for presidential primaries which begin next month (dates vary by state). https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/overview 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexLuis Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 This is a must that few are aware of: Those voting for US elections should always follow up on if their absentee ballot has been received. You must call to confirm that. We sent in absentee ballots, and the first two attempts did not register for the 2016 election. The third time was the charm. Confirmed. Do not assume after you have sent off your ballot that your work is complete. Send with plenty of time to resend. Then call until you have a confirmation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted January 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Our local Voter Registrar allows us to check online whether our ballots have been received. We used mail ballots in the past. By registering via FVAP https://www.fvap.gov/ we will be emailed ballots which we can either mail or fax back (some states allow ballots under this program to be emailed back, but ours does not). We intend to fax the ballots and monitor their receipt at the Voter Registrar's site. Using mail ballots, we had one instance of them not being received in time due to unavoidable delays in surface mail, both directions.
