Just in case you missed our post on September 3, military and overseas voters should pay special attention to deadline requirements for registering and voting during the November 4 Presidential General Election.
Like all other eligible voters, make sure you’re registered (or re-registered) to vote by October 20. Your Vote by Mail ballot will be sent to the address specified, and needs to be received by the Elections office no later than November 4 at 8 p.m.
If you are already out of the country and haven’t registered to vote yet, you can submit your registration by fax as long as you also send your original signed form in the mail. Without that follow up, your application won’t be valid.
If you aren’t planning on leaving the country until after October 6, consider coming to the Elections offices to vote early. We are open Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. for voters wanting to cast their ballot early, beginning October 6 through November 4. We’ll also be open on Saturday, October 25 and Saturday, November 1. The Elections offices are located at:
Going on a cruise? Check with your cruise host to see if they have an address available for you to receive your ballot.
Remember, it takes longer for mail to reach outside of the United States, so get your registration and ballot in early to prevent any issues.
