Votefromabroad.org is an online voter registration tool that helps US citizens living outside the United States register to vote, request their ballots, and find out deadlines and other details regarding upcoming elections https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/28/smarter-living/american-vote-from-abroad.html.

The online tool provides assistance to all citizens living outside the US, regardless of political affiliation, including members of the military and merchant marines who are serving overseas.

The VoteFromAbroad.org website walks eligible voters through the process of registering to vote or requesting their ballot by completing the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). Once the voter fills in all the form's required information, the site creates a PDF, which the voter can then print, sign, and either email, postal mail, or fax to their local election office in the United States - depending on their state's submission requirements.

US citizens abroad must register to vote and request their ballot each year they wish to vote. They vote in the state where they last resided before moving abroad, or if they have never lived in the United States, where their parents last resided (if their parents resided in one of 34 states that allow never resided US citizens to vote in their state).

Besides assisting US citizens abroad in filling out their registration or ballot request (via the FPCA form), the site also provides information on upcoming elections, voting rights, and frequently asked questions about voting from abroad. There is an online help chat that allows voters to send their questions in to a help line.

While the site is non-partisan, it was created and is funded by Democrats Abroad.
