Voting reminder: U.S. citizens in Peru: your vote matters! Make sure you vote absentee before your home state’s deadline.  We can collect and postmark your Ballot Return and FWAB Postage-Paid Return Envelope at the U.S. embassy in Lima on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. but many states allow you to return your ballot by email or fax.  Check your state’s deadlines and rules at https://www.fvap.gov/.  If your state accepts ballots by fax, consider the FVAP fax service for overseas voters.  You can email your ballot to fax@fvap.gov and FVAP will fax your ballot to your local election board for you.  You must complete this cover sheet and include it with your email: https://www.fvap.gov/uploads/FVAP/Forms/coversheet.pdf. #Vote2020
