(November 4, 2008) – Final reminder to Vote, October 16, 2008
American citizens should vote now in the November 4, 2008 presidential and general elections. If you registered to vote and requested an absentee ballot by your state’s deadline, you should have already received your state absentee ballot. Please return your marked ballot now!
Ballot hasn’t arrived?
If your ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB). The FWAB serves as an emergency ballot for voters who registered in time but fail to receive an official ballot from local election officials. The FWAB is available at www.fvap.gov or from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
If your regular state ballot arrives after you have mailed the FWAB, complete and mail the state ballot as well.
Returning your ballot
Voted ballots and FWABs may be mailed to your local voting officials in the United States through first-class international mail or from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Last-minute voters should consider using an express courier company to deliver their ballots. A few states also accept completed ballots by fax or e-mail.
Questions?
The Voting Assistance Officers at the U.S. Embassy in Rome and the Consulates General in Milan, Florence 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:
