Your voting state
You vote according to your last residence in the US, usually your legal residence. FVAP explains how to determine it.
Voting from abroad
Vote in US elections,
even from Israel.
US citizens living abroad can vote by mail. We help you understand the steps, fill in the form together and explain the deadlines.
Good to know
- ✓Voting from abroad is done through one form, the FPCA, which is used both to register and to request a ballot. The form itself is a US government form and is free of charge.
- ✓You vote in the state where you are registered as a resident, so deadlines and rules vary from state to state.
- ✓We are not affiliated with FVAP or the election authorities. We help with preparation, not with deciding whom to vote for.
Before you start
What to understand first.
Voting from abroad is simple, but it depends on a few personal details and on the state's timetable.
Sending to the election office
You fill in the FPCA and send it to the election office. It is best to send it early, so the ballot arrives in time.
A backup ballot
If there is not enough time to receive and return the regular ballot, there is a backup ballot called the FWAB.

✓
A new form every yearFVAP recommends sending a new FPCA every January and each time you move.
✓
When to send itFor the general election FVAP recommends sending the form by August 1. States set different deadlines, so it is worth checking your own state.
