3. I think I registered to vote before I travelled abroad. How can I check?

Only your Local Election Official in the US can accept your voter registration and send out a ballot. You should email or call your Local Election Official to verify you are a registered voter and that they will be sending you a ballot. You can look up the contact information here: Students.VoteFromAbroad.org/states (scroll down to “Find Your Election Office”).

In addition, some states post this information online. If your state has a website, you can find the link at: Students.VoteFromAbroad.org/states (scroll down to “Am I Registered?” or “Where is My Ballot?”). Please be aware that these websites are not always up-to-date, so if you don’t see your information, it’s still a good idea to contact your Local Election Official directly.

If you’re not currently registered, no problem. Our website will walk you through the process to register and request your overseas absentee ballot, just click here: Students.VoteFromAbroad.org, select your state, and follow the prompts.

Even if you are currently registered. we strongly recommend that if you will be outside the US on election day that you submit a request to your local election office for an overseas absentee ballot.
