We are happy to say that many overseas and military voters requested their ballots early in 2024 and have already received them and voted.
Unfortunately, there are some voters who are not so lucky. Are you wondering how to check on your ballot status? If you know for sure that you requested your overseas absentee ballot this year, mid-October is definitely the time to check on it. In fact, it's time to get on it - and right away! You need to find it, vote and send it back in time to be counted.
Still waiting for your ballot? We have answers for you!
You are not alone. "Where's my ballot?" is the number one question we are receiving these days from voters abroad. We have a set of steps mapped out for you on our U.S. Vote Foundation website:
