Electronic Transmission Options by State

Voters faxing or e-mailing voting materials should use the electronic transmission cover sheet available at http://www.fvap.gov/resources/media/coversheet.pdf. Voters faxing or e-mailing their completed ballots must waive their right to a secret ballot.

Toll-free international phone and fax numbers are at http://www.fvap.gov/contact/index.html. Please report any non-working numbers to votinginfo@state.gov, including the date and time you tried the number.

State requirements change frequently. Please use this list as a guideline, but if in doubt, refer to the online Voting Assistance Guide.

Check the online Voting Assistance Guide for the latest requirements.
