US Voters



GENERAL ELECTION DAY 2024 is on NOVEMBER 5, 2024.  Absentee ballots for the General Election will be sent 45 days prior to Election Day (Sept. 21, 2024)

Absentee Voters must request their ballots prior to Election Day.  Deadlines vary according from state to state.  


OVERSEAS US VOTER OUTREACH EVENT
September 10, 2024 - 10 am - 4 pm.  
At American Corner Trieste / Associazione Italo American Corner Trieste 
Piazza Sant'Antonio Nuovo, 6 - Trieste
Walk in and we'll help you get registered!  Vote in the 2024 General Election.  Your Vote Counts,

REQUEST YOUR BALLOT NOW if you have not already done so.

HERE IS THE LINK TO US EMBASSY TO ITALY VOTING INFORMATION . 

Voting Abroad 

Almost all U.S. citizens 18 years or older who reside outside the United States are eligible to vote absentee for candidates for federal offices in U.S. primary and general elections. In addition, some states allow overseas citizens to vote for candidates for state and local offices, as well as for state and local referendums. For information regarding your specific state, visit these websites:

ABSENTEE VOTING INFORMATION FOR U.S. CITIZENS ABROAD

All U.S. citizens can receive their blank ballots electronically. Depending on the state in which you are eligible to vote, you may receive your ballot by email, fax, or internet download. To start, go to www.FVAP.gov to complete a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), print and sign the form then return it to your local election office in the United States, whose address is included in the FVAP Web site.

We recommend overseas U.S. citizens get in the habit of completing FPCAs every year. You should include your email address on the form so it’s easier for your election officials to reach you if there is a problem. Note that some states deliver ballots by fax only, so be sure to include your fax number. If you request electronic delivery and include your email address or fax number, you’ll receive your blank ballot 45 days before general and mid-term elections and generally 30 days before special, primary, and run-off elections for federal offices. Most states now have voter registration verification websites, and many offer a means of tracking the status of your registration and ballot.

IMPORTANT NOTE: States are no longer required to automatically send ballots to voters for an entire election cycle so everyone who wants to vote in U.S. elections from overseas should send in a new Federal Post Card Application in January of each year. 

For more information, please visit the State Department Absentee Voting Information for U.S. Citizens Abroad webpage and the Federal Voting Assistance Program at FVAP.gov.

The Voting Assistance Officers at the U.S. Embassy in Rome and the Consulates General in Florence, Milan and Naples are available to answer questions about absentee voting.

To contact the Voting Assistance Officers, call the Consular Section nearest you, or send an e-mail to:

VoteRome@state.gov for the Consular District of Rome,
VoteFlorence@state.gov for the Consular District of Florence,
VoteMilan@state.gov for the Consular District of Milan and
VoteNaples@state.gov for the Consular District of Naples.


Did you know?

While military voters turned out at 47% in 2020, only 8% of non-military voters living outside the USA cast a ballot. Non-military turnout in the 2022 Congressional midterms was even lower at 3.4%, according to the Federal Voting Assistance Program. 

Helpful Advice

  1. Go on FVAP.gov  NOW and request your Absentee Ballot.
  2. Request your ballot to be sent to you via email.
  3. Ballots should be sent out to you around September 21st.
  4. PRINT, VOTE, SEND IMMEDIATELY  
  5. WE SUGGEST POSTE PRIORITARIA INTERNAZIONALE (about €5.00)  
Mailing your Voted Absentee Ballot
  • Print the return ballot envelope provided in your email.
  • Follow all the instructions and put your ballot in the special envelope.
  • Postage IS REQUIRED if you send the ballot from OUTSIDE the US.
  • Poste Italiane - Posta Prioritario Internazionale costs about €5.50.  
  • We will NOT be sending ballots via Diplomatic Pouch.  
  • DHL is giving a special 20% discount on documents sent to the US.  (It will still cost you around €35).  

Are you registered in STEP?

American citizens abroad are encouraged to register in STEP - Smart Traveler Enrollment Program with the US Department of State - Bureau of Consular Affairs. You will receive periodic emails with important advisories for US Citizens in Italy and eventual invitations to online presentations about specific issues (such as US Voting from Abroad).
