Register to vote and apply for mail ballot
Using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) linked above you will obtain permanent vote-by-mail status
Permanent vote-by-mail status for overseas government staff is also called UOCAVA, which stands for Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act
To ensure you receive your voting materials before each election, please use the FPCA form when you change your address, your mailing address, contact information or voting preference
Hard copies of the FPCA are available at U.S. embassy or consulate offices, and military personnel may get them from their Voting Assistance Officer
Be sure to fill out your overseas address and don't forget to sign the FPCA

You may fax or mail your marked (voted) ballot (please see below for numbers and addresses) and completed Standard Oath of Voter form, which you will receive in your mail ballot packet.
- Alert! The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) has discontinued their service of faxing military and overseas voters’ election materials to county election officials.
  - What this means: you can no longer send your voted ballot to fvap.gov.
California state law does not allow for voted ballots to be sent via email.
