 Voting is one of our fundamental rights as Americans. The Federal Voting Assistance Program, or FVAP, works to ensure service members, their eligible family members, and overseas citizens are aware of their right to vote and have the resources to do so from anywhere in the world. Military personnel and their dependents can vote absentee in their legal voting residence. FVAP encourages the use of the Federal Postcard Application, or FPCA, to start the absentee voting process. The FPCA acts as both a registration and absentee ballot request form. It's standardized for use across all states and extends your eligibility to receive a ballot for all federal elections in which you are eligible. FVAP encourages military voters to submit a new FPCA every year and when they move. Exercise your right to vote. See your voting assistance officer or visit the FVAP website for more information.
