U.S. Ambassador to Turkey David Satterfield’s video-message to American citizens voting in Turkey:
“Voting is a fundamental right and important civic responsibility for U.S. citizens. As we look ahead to this November’s elections in the United States, American citizens in Turkey should know that casting an absentee ballot is easier than ever. Most U.S. citizens aged 18 or older residing outside the United States can vote in U.S. elections. You can receive an absentee ballot by email, fax, or internet download, depending on the state you are eligible to vote in. The time to ensure you are registered to vote is now… don’t wait. To request a ballot and see your state’s voting guidelines, please visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website 👉 FVAP.gov .You can find all of the information you need to vote overseas at this website.
