Don’t wait, return your voted ballot right away! The majority of states require voted ballots to reach local election officials by the close of polls on Tuesday, November 6th. Consult and carefully review your state’s voting procedures at www.FVAP.gov.
We recommend that you return your voted paper ballot to your local election officials for the November 6th election no later than October 15, 2018. If you wish to drop off your voted ballot at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul, or the U.S. Consulate in Adana, please schedule a notarial appointment to do so. You may schedule a free appointment on the following website: https://tr.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/acs-appointments/
Never received your ballot? If you have registered to vote and requested your absentee ballot prior to your state’s registration and absentee ballot request deadlines but have not yet received your ballot, you should immediately complete and return a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot to ensure your vote reaches election officials by your state’s deadline.
Ballots not sent to local election officials by our recommended date of October 15? If you wish to participate in this election and have not yet sent your ballot to your local election officials by October 15, you should consider returning your ballot to the United States via an express courier service or electronically if allowed by your state. Check your state’s voting procedures at www.FVAP.gov for guidance.
