Military and Overseas Voting (UOCAVA)

Military And Overseas Voters

You have expanded options to vote if you are away from home because you are a member of the military, a military dependent stationed outside Napa County, or a citizen living outside the United States. This is a federal law established by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act and is commonly referred to as UOCAVA.

Register

If you are currently overseas and need to register as a UOCAVA voter, download the form or go to FVAP website for more information. Completed FVAP applications can be sent back via email, fax or mail.

Ballot Delivery 

As a UOCAVA voter, you have 3 ways to receive a ballot:

• Email
• Mail
• Fax

Beginning 60 days before Election Day, ballots will be sent out using your preferred delivery method. If you are unsure of your status as a UOCAVA voter, email Jennie Keener for confirmation. You can check whether your UOCAVA ballot was issued or whether it has been received by our office through the Voter Information tool.
