Voter Registration

Most Americans who reside abroad are eligible to vote in U.S. elections. Eligibility depends on the laws and regulations of one's legal state of residence.  The Consular Section at the Embassy can assist voters to cast an absentee ballot with the election authorities of their state of residence. The absentee voting process is designed to permit citizens who will be away from their local polling places on Election Day to vote by mail. This process requires that a ballot request is made at least 60 days before the scheduled election date.
