HOW TO VOTE FROM SOUTH AFRICA


2025 Voting Guide for American Citizens in South Africa

Be prepared for elections in 2025 and every year. There are elections already scheduled in several states and others may be scheduled. It is strongly recommended that every US Citizen living outside of the country submit an FPCA (request your ballot) at the beginning of each year. Please go to www.votefromabroad.org to request your ballot, find info on upcoming elections, and see state-specific info. We can't waste even one ballot! Be ready to vote. 

The linked guidelines aim to provide you with information and resources to facilitate the process of voting from South Africa. 
 
If you're a U.S. citizen or dual citizen abroad, you have the right to vote from abroad in the 2025 elections. 
 
IMPORTANT: Each state has different rules, timeframes and processes. Please check your state-specific information now and plan. Follow your state’s timeframes and procedures carefully to ensure your 2025 vote counts!

Start at www.votefromabroad.org to request your ballot and check your state rules & procedures. 

Click HOW TO VOTE FROM SOUTH AFRICA  for further details.
PLEASE NOTE - the information linked here will be updated for 2025 Elections soon but the general info remains relevant. 

 

Thank you,
