Military & Overseas Voters

The Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is a form provided by federal law to permit members of the U.S. Armed Forces and Merchant Marines, their dependents, and U.S. citizens abroad to vote early by mail and, if necessary, to temporarily register to vote.

Eligibility

You are eligible to vote early with an FPCA if you are qualified to vote in Texas and one of the following:

* Federal law defines “overseas” as anywhere outside the United States. If you are not one of these voters, you need the regular early voting by mail procedure.

I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and I intend to return
I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and my intent to return is uncertain (Federal Ballot Only)
I am a U.S. citizen living outside the country, and I have never lived in the United States
