Military and Overseas Voters:
Members of the U.S. armed forces and merchant marines, their dependents, and U.S. citizens temporarily living abroad are eligible to vote early by mail and, if necessary, to register to vote. (Federal voting law defines "overseas" as anywhere outside the United States, including Canada and Mexico.)
Military and overseas voters may use the regular registration and early voting by mail process on Election Day and throughout the early voting period. There are provisions for those who submit a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).
PLEASE NOTE: Texas law now provides that Federal Post Card Applications are valid for a period of up to four years -- two federal election cycles (federal elections occur in even-numbered years). Once qualified to participate in the ballot by mail program, you will continue to be sent ballots at your out of county address until your FPCA is canceled by you or the four-year eligibility period expires.
