Voter Information

This message is for U.S. citizens 18 years or older. You are eligible to participate in all elections for Federal offices under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA). Many of you are also eligible to vote in state and local elections, depending on where you last lived in the United States.

First, register to vote in your state of legal residence. Then request an absentee ballot by using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) or sending a written request for a ballot to your county or town clerk. The FPCA and information on requirements for individual states, including where to send the FPCA, is available online at http://www.fvap.gov/ or from the Office of American Citizens Services (ACS) in the U.S. Consulate General located at Avenida Constitucion, 411 Pte. in Monterrey. You also can use the FPCA to register. Once you have completed the FPCA, we will be glad to mail it from the Consulate. Some states require the ballot to be notarized, which we can do for you free of charge at the Consulate.

We recommend that voters submit an FPCA in January of every year and/or at least 45 days before election day. Depending on your state's requirements, you may be able to fax the FPCA and even the completed ballot. If you have sent in an FPCA or written request according to the requirements of your state of legal residence but you have not received your absentee ballot at least two weeks prior to election day, you can vote in elections for federal office using a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot available from ACS at the Consulate.

If you have questions, consult the web site, then call us at (81) 83-42-85-06 in Monterrey.
