OVF's website and integrated voter services applications are available at OverSeasVoteFoundation.org.
Overseas Vote Foundation is dedicated to doing one thing well: helping overseas American citizens and uniformed services voters register faster, more easily and accurately than ever before.

OVF's mission is to facilitate and increase participation of American overseas voters and military voters and their dependents in federal elections by providing public access to innovative online voter registration tools and services.

Integral to achieving our mission is making it easier for all Americans residing around the world, and all military and dependents residing outside their home jurisdiction, to be able to stay active in their home state's electoral process.

OVF's website and integrated voter services applications, available at OverSeasVoteFoundation.org, offer a user-friendly online system to automate the complex process facing military and civilian overseas voters attempting to register to vote and request absentee ballots.

Americans living abroad who are 18 years old or older on Election Day are eligible to vote in the US primary and general elections, and the complete set of online voter registration tools and services available at OverSeasVoteFoundation.org make it easy. Don't be late, register now to receive your absentee ballot by mail.
