The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) has made available an official
On-line Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (OFWAB) for federal offices in
general elections. The OFWAB, like the paper version, can serve as an
emergency ballot for overseas citizens covered by the Uniformed and Overseas
Absentee Voting Act who do not receive their requested state absentee
ballot. To be eligible for the ballot, a U.S. citizen must: (1) be located
outside the United States; (2) have applied for a regular ballot early
enough so that the request was received by the appropriate local election
official at least 30 days before the election; and (3) not have received the
requested regular absentee ballot from the state. For more information,
contact the FVAP through the DoD Voting Information Center, using the
toll-free numbers listed on the FVAP website at www.fvap.gov, or sending
e-mail to vote@fvap.ncr.gov.
