Why use VoteFromAbroad.org to request your ballot?

Federal law provides special voting protections for U.S. citizens living overseas—but only if you submit the official federal ballot request. When you do, you receive:

  • Your ballot by email (Check the “receive by email” box)

  • Guaranteed ballot transmission at least 45 days before each federal election — critical if you must return your ballot by mail (22 states are mail-return only)

  • Automatic ballot delivery for every election you’re eligible to vote in that year

  • Protection against voter roll removal — your registration stays active that year

  • Free ballot tracking, so you can confirm your ballot was received

  • Access to an emergency write-in ballot if your ballot is delayed or doesn’t arrive

These protections are not automatic. They apply only when you submit the FEDERAL ballot request (as opposed to an absentee ballot from your local election official).
