Voters Covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)

Voters covered under UOCAVA may register to vote, request and return an absentee ballot for certain elections held within West Virginia. UOCAVA voters may submit their absentee application beginning January 1 of the election year.

To see whether you qualify to vote absentee under UOCAVA, please visit the following page: Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)

If you are eligible as a UOCAVA voter, you may both register to vote and apply for an absentee ballot by filling out and submitting the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). If you are registering to vote for the first time, your FPCA must be submitted via U.S. mail no later than 21-days before election day. If you are already registered to vote, you may submit your FPCA to your county clerk via email, fax, or U.S. mail.

You may return your absentee ballot in the same manner it was transmitted based on your choice marked on the FPCA, or via U.S. Mail. Your absentee ballot must be received by your county clerk by the start of Canvass, which begins in most counties five (5) days after Election Day.

The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act is commonly referred to as UOCAVA.

The Act allows certain West Virginia residents who are U.S. citizens to register to vote and submit an absentee ballot for elections held within the state. UOCAVA voters may submit their absentee application beginning January 1 of th​e election year.

Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP.gov) offers voting assistance for Service members and their families and overseas citizens. For an overview of the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act please visit https://www.fvap.gov/info/laws/uocava.

Electronic voting for UOCAVA citizens:

In West Virginia, UOCAVA voters are permitted to use an online ballot system. Voters who choose this option will receive login credentials from their county clerk to access their ballot through the secure Omni Ballot portal using a computer or smart device. Once the voter’s selections are made, they have the opportunity to review their ballot to ensure it was marked correctly. Similar to traditional absentee voting in West Virginia, all voters must sign their name before returning their ballot. The signature and ballot may then be submitted by mail, email, fax or through the portal. Ballots are verified and tabulated by the local elections office. Learn more about the process by watching this video.

To apply to use the electronic ballot transfer method:

1. Download the Federal Post Card Application and select “email or online” for how you would like to receive your voting materials.

2. Email, fax, or mail the completed form to your county clerk.
