Installation and unit voting assistance offices are available to help you exercise the very right you protect- your right to vote! We can help you register to vote, request an absentee ballot and notify your election official of a mailing address change. It's important you take action early to register and request your absentee ballot well in advance of upcoming election deadlines to allow for mail delivery times, research of your state's deadlines, and your own work and personal life requirements to ensure your voice is heard. The information below is provided to assist you with the absentee voting process.
Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), SF-76: The FPCA can be used to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and submit a change of address. Go online to https://www.fvap.gov/fpca-privacy- notice and use the FPCA Wizard to help you register, request your absentee ballot and/or change your address while providing you with all of your state-specific information and requirements to vote.
Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB), SF-186: The FWAB is used as a backup in case you have already registered to vote or sent in an FPCA to both register and request your absentee ballot, but you have not yet received your absentee ballot. Go online to https://www.fvap.gov/fwab-privacy- notice and use the FWAB Wizard that will help you to vote in Federal elections, even filling in your candidate choices based on your state of residence.
Both the FPCA and FWAB Wizards will provide you with a filled in form. All you have to do is print, sign and date it, and return it to your election official via the directions provided (some states allow you to fax and/or e-mail your signed form).
National Voter Registration Form (NVRF): The NVRF is provided to federal civilian employees and other US citizens who have access to the installation, and to uniformed services voters who currently reside in their voting district. Separating/retiring military members should advise their election official they will no longer be considered a military voter. The NVRF (or your state voter registration form) can be used to notify your election official of an address change. Get a hard copy from a voting assistance officer or online at: https://www.fvap.gov/miHtary-voter/transition . Fill out, and a voting assistance officer can assist you as needed.
