Military Voters

This guidance document is advisory in nature but is binding on an agency until amended by such agency. A guidance document does not include internal procedural documents that only affect the internal operations of the agency and does not impose additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties or include confidential information or rules and regulations made in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. If you believe that this guidance document imposes additional requirements or penalties on regulated parties, you may request a review of the document.

You may use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), National Voter Registration Form or Nebraska Voter Registration Application.

The FPCA is frequently used by military and overseas voters as it serves as both a registration application and an early-voting application.

If possible, it is strongly encouraged that you provide an email address on your FPCA. The email address you provide will be the primary method of correspondence, meaning you will receive your ballot and other materials via email. If you do not have an email address, you may provide a fax number or mailing address. Whatever method you provide will be the method the county election office will send your ballot and keep in contact with you.

Check the Voter Information Center if you are not sure whether you are registered in Nebraska.

Important note: The Federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act changed the effective duration of the FPCA. You will need to send an early-voting request each calendar year you wish to receive an early-voting ballot.

Nebraska allows you to use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) for registration and voting in all federal, state and local elections. Feel free to use the FWAB to vote anytime before an election. If you receive your Nebraska early-voting ballot, vote and return it. If both ballots are received by the deadline, only the Nebraska ballot will be counted.
