Voter Registration

The American Embassy Majuro has voting information. Federal postcard ballot applications, IRS information and forms are also available at the Embassy.  For more information please contact us via email: votemajuro@state.gov

Under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), the right to vote can be exercised by United States citizens in every corner of the world. Generally, all U.S. citizens 18 years or older who are residing outside the United States during an election period are eligible to vote absentee in any election for Federal office (this includes Presidential elections and the elections of Senators and Representatives).

Overseas voter assistance is provided by the Federal Voting Assistance Program.

The procedures and deadlines to vote absentee vary from state to state. However, the same document - the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) - is accepted by all states and territories as an application for both registration and for an absentee ballot.   The FPCA can be obtained at the Embassy or online at: http://www.fvap.gov/
