Special Arrangements for
California's Military and Overseas Voters

If you are a military and overseas voter, you can fax or mail your ballot to your county elections office. If you fax your ballot, you must also include a signed Oath of Voter form that waives your right to cast a confidential vote.

However you return your ballot, it must be received by the county elections office before the polls close at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on Election Day. Postmarks do not count.

You can register to vote and complete a special absentee ballot application at www.fvap.gov.
