Important Election Notices
All American citizens are urged to participate in the U.S. election process. We strongly encourage you to register to vote and/or request absentee ballots as early in the year as possible to ensure that you will receive all ballots for which you are eligible.
How do I register to vote/request an absentee ballot?
The official US Government website for overseas absentee voting assistance is the Federal Voting Assistance Program website at http://www.fvap.gov It has a wealth of information about absentee voting, including the downloadable absentee ballot application, state-specific instructions for completing the form, links to state and local officials, and a downloadable emergency ballot.
I have questions. Who can I ask?
The Voting Assistance Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad is available to answer questions about absentee voting. To contact the Voting Assistance Officer, send an e-mail to acs_islamabad@state.gov
Again, we strongly encourage you to begin this process as soon as possible.
