Uniformed & Overseas Citizen Voters

Request your Absentee Ballot

Idaho allows active-duty members of the Uniformed Services or Merchant Marine, and their spouse/dependents who are living away from their voting jurisdiction to vote absentee. The same is true for U.S. citizens living outside the United States and its territories.

Requesting your absentee ballot is easier than ever using the Idaho online voter portal. Visit  www.voteidaho.gov to submit your absentee ballots requests for this calendar year.

If you prefer, you can fill out the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) form here. To submit your application to our office, you will need to print out the completed form, sign it, scan it and then email it to our office at [email protected].

Important Reminders if you are Active Duty Military or Live Overseas:

  • Request your ballot early! – Keep in mind how long it will take for your ballot request to get to our office and the time it will take for a ballot to be mailed or emailed to you.
  • Completing your ballot – Make sure to vote your ballot promptly and allow ample time for it to be returned to our office.
  • Returning your ballot – Your ballot must be returned by mail in order for it to be counted. Please remember it must be received by our office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

If you have additional questions about how to vote when living overseas, please visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program’s website.
