Overseas Voter Registration and Ballot Request (FPCA)
Good News! There is no witness requirement for the Overseas Voter Registration and Ballot Request (FPCA). A witness may only be required if a voter receives assistance when completing the form.
Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB)
A few states do have witnessing requirements for the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Alabama, Virginia and Wisconsin still require a United States citizen witness to sign the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB).
States that request witnesses on the FWAB are:
Alabama (2 witnesses)
Alaska (1 witness)
Wisconsin (1 witness)
This is a simple process, which does not require translation or legal fees. The instructions will come with your ballot.
Don't let this stop you from requesting your ballot!
