This is a Mississippi specific version of the Federal Post Card
Application (FPCA) which allows for the electronic signature of the
voter by typing his or her name in the bottom blank. The FPCA is for
absent Uniformed Service members, their families, and citizens
residing outside the United States. It is used to register to vote,
request an absentee ballot, and update your contact information.
More instructions on how to fill out this Mississippi UOCAVA FPCA
can be found at www.yallvote.sos.ms.gov.
You can vote wherever you are.
1. Fill out your form completely and accurately.
Your U.S. address is used to determine where you are eligible to vote
absentee. For military voters, it is usually your last address in your
State of legal residence. For overseas citizens, it is usually the last
place you lived before moving overseas. You do not need to have any
current ties with this address. DO NOT write a PO Box # in section 2.
Most States allow you to provide a Driver’s License number or the last
4 digits of your SSN. Some States require a full SSN. See your States
guidelines at FVAP.gov.
Most States require you to specify a political party to vote in primary
elections. This information may be used to register you with a party.
We recommend that you complete this form every year while you are
an absentee voter.
2. Remember to sign this form!
3
. Remove the adhesive liner from the top and sides.
Fold and seal tightly.
You can find the address for your election office at FVAP.gov.
All States accept this form by mail, but they vary on email and fax.
