Time to Vote, Expats

Voting materials from the United States have already started appearing in your mailboxes. If you have not already done so, request your mail-in ballot NOW. Perform your due diligence and research on candidates and propositions quickly, then promptly return your ballots via US Mail. There are instructions online for those of you who would like to personally drop your ballot in an official ballot box, should you decide not to trust the US mail service to deliver it on time. This applies mostly to those registered in California and Arizona, unless you really feel like taking a bit of a road trip. And you may always return to your state of residency to vote in person at the polling address listed on your ballot, even if it is a “mail in” ballot. Most states just have a special form or book to sign that you elected to personally drop off your ballot instead of returning it by mail. Although the border is closed to unnecessary travel, voting is your constitutional right. For our local residents who are registered to vote in the state of South Dakota, please allow for ample driving time.

Some readers were confused by all of the websites I listed in my first article. The best link to use for all voter information is www.FVAP.gov. I hope this helps!.
