The U.S. Embassy wants to ensure that every U.S. citizen in Haiti is able to exercise their right to vote and reminds you to submit your ballot on or before October 13, 2020. Please be advised that U.S. Embassy Haiti is closed on Monday October 12, 2020 to observe the Columbus Day holiday. The voting box will be available on Tuesday October 13, 2020 at 7:00am.
How to get an Absentee Ballot
Visit the FVAP website and request an absentee ballot for the state in which you are registered to vote, by filling out and submitting the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA).
If you request an absentee ballot and do not receive it, you can still vote absentee by completing a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). FWABs are available on-line at https://www.fvap.gov/fwab-privacy-notice or from the American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit at the Embassy. If you need additional assistance, call (509) 2229 8000 or emailVotePortAuPrince@state.gov.
How to send your Absentee Ballot
1. After you complete your ballot, seal and address it. Your ballot should be addressed to the state elections office, which is indicated on the instructions page attached to your ballot.
2. There are three options for mailing absentee ballots:
a) Drop your ballot in the Embassy’s Official Ballot Drop Box. The box is located at the Consular entrance by the green and white striped tent during normal business hours, Monday-Friday from 7 am – 3:30 p.m. Upon entering the Consular Entrance, you will be directed to the voting station.
b) Mail the ballot via international mail or courier service.
c) Hand carry by a trusted friend, colleague, or family member and mail in the United States.
There is no postage necessary if you drop your ballot at the Embassy. Standard postage/courier service fees apply if you choose to use U.S. or international mail.
Please review the COVID-19 information on the FVAP website.
