Dear Military and Overseas Voters:

U.S. Virgin Islands military and overseas voters will have additional time and options to send in ballots for the November 6, 2012, General Election.

All military and overseas voters from the U.S. Virgin Islands that request a ballot by September 22, 2012, for the November 6, 2012, General Election will be sent an absentee ballot using an express delivery service and will be offered the option of receiving their ballot by email or fax.

The U.S. Virgin Islands will provide all military and overseas voters with the option of returning their ballot by email, fax, or express delivery service at no cost to the voter. Instructions on how to exercise these return options will be provided to voters by October 2, 2012.

If military and overseas voters have any questions or need assistance, they may contact the Supervisor of Elections by calling the St. Croix Office at (340) 773-1021 or the St. Thomas Office at (340) 774-3107 or via email at: electionsys@unitedstates.vi.

All members of the U.S. Uniformed Services, their family members, and citizens residing outside the U.S. who are residents of the U.S. Virgin Islands can submit a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to register and request their absentee ballot for this election by going to FVAP.gov or by following the instructions in the Voting Assistance Guide, also available at FVAP.gov.
