Each year, send an absentee ballot request, which serves all elections in that calendar year. You can also use the form to register to vote.
The method for delivering an absentee ballot request depends on the state and county. Some accept signed requests as an email attachment. All accept the federal application form. Some states also provide online forms.
You can vote at the local, state, and federal levels if you specify that you intend to return to the U.S. You can only vote at the federal level if you specify that your return is uncertain.
Whether you must declare a party in order to vote in a primary election depends upon the state.
Many counties make ballots available electronically (about 30-40 days prior to election day). Ballots must be printed and signed. Some counties accept faxed ballots. It is best to send ballots with someone returning to the U.S. to mail (from wherever). Postage is paid (at least for some counties) if you use the form and it is mailed from the U.S.
It takes more effort to vote from La Manzanilla but is doable.
Hi all, I removed a post that specifically referenced one US political party over another. I’m leaving this absentee voting post because it applies to all US expats without political affiliation.
There are lots of other forums, Facebook pages, etc. if you would like to discuss US or Canadian politics.
From the message board guidelines:
POST MUST BE RELEVANT
The message board is for relevant information about La Manzanilla, or Mexico in general if it directly affects residents of or visitors to La Manzanilla. Sometimes a post about Canada or the US is ok if it is relevant and from someone we know. The message board is not Facebook.SpencerC/Moderator
