Overseas Voters
U.S. citizens living abroad have the right to vote as absentee voters, provided they are eligible to vote in their state. If you are living outside of the U.S. permanently, indefinitely, or temporarily, your voting rights stay with you, even if you never voted when you lived in the U.S. To vote from overseas:
- Complete and send an overseas voter registration/ballot request form to your election office in the U.S. This is one specific form that will register you as an overseas voter and request your absentee ballot – simultaneously.
Many states allow children who were born overseas, but never lived in the U.S., to use their U.S. parents’ last residence address to register.
Military Voters
Service members and their eligible family members living outside their voting jurisdiction (within or outside the U.S.) are able to vote as absentee voters.
- If you are a service member, or an eligible family member, there is a single form to file for both voter registration and ballot request. It is often called the “Federal Post Card Application” or the FPCA form. This form must be re-filed with your election office each time you change location.
To vote as a service member or eligible family member:
- Complete and send a voter registration/ballot request form “FPCA” to your election office in the U.S. It is the same form in all states.
Voting Military
Service members and their dependents may register and request a ballot using the federal voter registration/ballot request form ("FPCA"). You will have the following identification options when completing the form:
- Last 4 Digits of your Social Security Number
- Option to Indicate that you do not have the Requested ID
- U.S. State or Territory or District Issued ID
Voting Overseas
U.S. citizens living overseas may register and request a ballot using the overseas voter registration/ballot request form. You will have the following identification options when completing the form:
- Last 4 Digits of your Social Security Number
- Option to Indicate that you do not have the Requested ID
- U.S. State or Territory or District Issued ID

| Utah provides an online ballot marking program, which allows voters to access, mark, review and print their ballot and required documents online. Utah allows you to send your voter registration/ballot request form electronically when you are in a hostile fire zone or other area where the mail service is unreliable and not sufficient to accommodate timely mail service. If you choose to electronically send your voter registration/ballot request form, you must also follow up by sending the original, signed form in the mail. Utah allows you to receive the blank ballot electronically in the situations described above. Utah allows you to return the voted ballot electronically if you agree to waive the right to a secret ballot and affirm in writing that you are currently deployed in a hostile fire zone or other area where the mail service is unreliable and not sufficient to accommodate timely mail service. | |||||
