Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)

In the event the Military or Overseas Citizen has timely submitted the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), and that voter has not received their absentee ballot, the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) may utilize the FWAB. One can confirm that a ballot has been mailed out to an individual for the election you are interested in by this link:
