Private Courier Service for US Ballots
Election Day is almost here!
The US Embassies and Consulates will continue to accept ballots and postmark them right up to Election Day on November 3rd.
The last departure of ballots from American Corner Trieste destined to the US Consulate Milan Diplomatic Pouch was on October 26th at 12.
If you're running late, private courier service may be the only way to ensure that your ballot arrives on time. Please note that with a private courier, ballots are not postmarked and must arrive in the local voting office by Nov 3rd.
These Courier services in Italy are offering special rates for American Citizens who need to return their ballots.
DHL has offered Americans in Italy a special deal of only €36 to express return your ballot. You must drop it off at any of their 3600 points of service in Italy, and it must be prepared and ready to go. It cannot be addressed to a P.O. Box--you must use the address of your local election office--and you must show an ID confirming that you are American (a passport will do). The Promo Code for this is USA2020. The recommended deadline is October 28.
FEDEX is offering a special rate of €25, and some additional (small) surcharges may apply. To use this offer, you must create an account via THIS LINK. You will have to enter your credit card information and your Codice Fiscale, and your credit card will be billed immediately. As above, it cannot be addressed to a P.O. Box, and moreover, your request must be made entirely online via this link. If you call Customer Service, go to a Fedex store, you will not receive this discount.

The Presidential Elections will take place in the United States on November 3, 2020. the U.S. Embassy to Italy and the American Corner Trieste propose the U.S: ELECTION VIRTUAL SPEAKER SERIES on Zoom.
In recent months, the Cultural Office of the U.S. Embassy to Italy has organized a series of virtual conferences on various themes with U.S. Diplomats in Italy as speakers. The “Virtual Mission Speaker Program” has been an excellent way to continue the out-reach of the embassy.
In the past, U.S. diplomats traveled around Italy and made in person presentations. For the moment the “Mission Speaker Program” will take place only in the virtual mode. The US Embassy to Italy views this as a tremendous opportunity to interact with people all over Italy, especially in areas that in the past were difficult to visit for logistical reasons.
Lecture themes are about the United States of America. The meetings are held in English, with support of a Power Point Presentation on the Zoom platform. The speaker presents for 30 minutes then is available to answer questions.
In the future, there we hope to offer more Virtual Mission Speakers.
