Go to this site to download a state ballot, or to check the status of your ballot request. Also, available at www.fvap.gov is the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot, which is the back-up form in case you have not yet received a ballot. This lets you vote in FEDERAL elections in your state, such as for US Congressional Representatives and US Senators, and to write-in the names of candidates for other state positions.
