Military and Overseas voters, and their dependent family members, have special voting rights under federal and state law (Uniformed & Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)). These rights include the use of a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to register to vote and request an early ballot and the use of a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) , which serves as an emergency back-up ballot. The FPCA and FWAB can also be completed using an online assistant by clicking here.
Additionally, UOCAVA voters can register to vote, request an early ballot and upload their voted ballot through the Secretary of State's secure portal. For more information, UOCAVA voters should visit: the Secretary of State's Website or the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP).
