Voter Information: The embassy will not be open to collect voter registration cards and ballots on Monday, October 12, due to the U.S. federal holiday.

Many states allow voters to return their ballots electronically either by fax or email. Considering the impact of COVID-19 on mail and shipping routes around the world, this should be the first option you consider.

The U.S. Embassy sends collected ballots and voter registrations to the United States once per week. For more voting information, visit FVAP.gov.
