Voting in the Upcoming 2016 United States Presidential Elections

November 8, 2016, will be the 58th U.S. presidential election. Register to vote at least 90 days before Election Day. If you are a US citizen 18 years (on Election Day) or older and reside outside the United States, you may vote absentee in any election for Federal Office. US overseas voting is easy. There is only ONE form to complete for registration. Your first step is to complete the Absentee Ballot Request https://www.usvotefoundation.org/…/voter-registration-absen… Then simply print the form, sign, and mail it to the address listed under your State in the State Instructions. Use the address of the last real home you had in the U.S.— where you actually resided. 37 states* allow U.S. citizens, 18 years or older, who were born abroad, but have never resided in the U.S. to vote absentee. Their voting address in the U.S. is the last U.S. residence of their U.S. citizen parent. States vary in their voter registration identification requirements, and most commonly these are 1) the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number (SSN); 2) a valid state driver’s license. 3) a US passport
