Embassy of the United States Oslo, Norway

New Absentee voting laws are in effect for 2012.

Be an active voter. Start thinking about your participation in the U.S. 2012 elections today.

New absentee voting laws are in effect for the 2012 elections.
You will no longer automatically receive ballots based on a previous absentee ballot request. All U.S. citizens outside the United States who want to vote by absentee ballot in the 2012 primary and general elections must complete a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) every year if they wish to vote from abroad.

Be an educated voter!
Check out the FVAP links page for helpful resources that will aid your research of candidates and issues. Non-partisan information about candidates, their voting records, and their positions on issues are widely available and easy to obtain via numerous websites such as Project Smart Voter. You can also read national and hometown newspapers on-line, or search the Internet to locate articles and information.
