Military and Overseas Voters

Military personnel and voters living overseas are able to conveniently participate in federal and Arizona elections. Military and overseas citizens can complete a Federal Postcard Application (FPCA) to register to vote and request a ballot.

A military or overseas voter may request a FPCA from his or her voting assistance officer, by visiting the Secretary of State online at www.azsos.gov/election/military.htm, or by contacting his or her County Recorder.

Once the FPCA has been completed, it may be faxed back to the appropriate County Recorder or to the Secretary of State’s Office at (602) 364-2087. The Secretary of State’s Office will forward the FPCA to the appropriate County Recorder.

A military or overseas voter may also submit a voted ballot using the Secretary of State’s secure ballot upload system. In order to use this method, the voter must contact the appropriate County Recorder for instructions. Ballots must be received by 7:00 p.m. ARIZONA time on Election Day.
