What is the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB)?

The Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) is an alternative, downloadable ballot which, depending on your voter status, you can use to vote in federal, state, and local elections, including on ballot measures. It is accepted by all states and territories.


The FWAB is used by registered overseas and active duty uniformed services voters who have not received their official absentee ballot in a timely manner.
