Don't Forget To Register To Vote!
Voter Registration rules are dictated by the State in which the voter wishes to vote. All US Citizens requesting an absentee ballot to be sent to a foreign country, must register in the year of the election no matter what happened before. i.e voters from abroad MUST register to vote even if they were previously registered to vote in the US. Make sure to register and request your absentee ballot with ample time to insure your vote is counted! These requests should be made by mid August. The regular postal system is NOT recommended. Requests and the ballots can be sent from the ABS using their mailing service for a modest fee.
Call ABS at 5540/5123 for information or help on how to register to vote and request your ballot, or visit: https://www.votefromabroad.org/
