Register to vote and request your ballot early.
If you've moved recently, submit a new Voter Registration/Absentee Ballot Request form with your new mailing address.
Sign and date all election materials as directed.
Fulfill your state's witness/notary requirements (if required).
Make sure that your Registration/Absentee Ballot Request and voted ballots are postmarked.
Return your voted ballot as soon as you receive it.
Use the Back-up Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot if your requested state absentee ballot has not arrived in time to ensure delivery by your state's deadline.
