NOVEMBER 3, 2020 GENERAL ELECTION
Important Information
As a registered voter in the District of Columbia, you may vote by mail or in person.

1) VOTE BY MAIL
    Every registered voter will be mailed a ballot for the November 3 General Election.

                  Voted ballots that are transmitted electronically, deposited at Mail Ballot Drop Boxes,
                       or deposited at Vote Centers, must be received by 8:00 pm on November 3.
                              All mailed ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, November 3,
                                       and received by the 10th day after the election.

    Military and Overseas Voters
    Additional services are available to military and overseas voters (members of the uniformed services, their spouses or
    dependents, and overseas civilian voters). U.S. citizens who were born overseas have the opportunity to vote from the
    same address where their parents most recently lived in the District of Columbia.

    Military and overseas voters can use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), which serves as a combined voter
    registration and absentee ballot request document. The FPCA is available for download from the Department of
    Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) site at https://www.fvap.gov/district-of-columbia. You may
    email your completed FPCA to uocava@dcboe.org. The Board must receive your request for a military/overseas
    absentee ballot no later than 4:45 pm on Saturday, October 31, 2020.

    You can receive and return your absentee (mail-in) ballot by mail, fax, or email. If it is getting close to Election
    Day and you have not received your mail ballot, you can use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) as
    an emergency, backup ballot. FVAP provides fillable FWABs and provides assistance in using FWABs at
    https://www.fvap.gov/district-of-columbia.

    Registered Incarcerated Voters
    DC registered voters at the Central Detention Facility (CDF), the Correctional Treatment Facility (CTF), and the
    Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), will be mailed a ballot for the November 3 General Election.

2) VOTE IN PERSON AT A VOTE CENTER
     You can cast your ballot at any Vote Center, regardless of your residential address. Voted mail ballots
     may also be deposited at any Vote Center.

                                                                2
