Your vote counts to choose US legislators!

The US Embassy in the Dominican Republic encourages US citizens living in the country to register to vote in the 2018 US House of Representatives and Senate elections. The Embassy highlights that every vote counts and that the outcome in many states has been decided by a margin smaller than the number of ballots cast by absentee voters.

To vote in the election, US citizens need to request a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to then receive a ballot. The next step is to return the completed ballot either by email or mail, or courier service, or drop off at the US Embassy in Santo Domingo or consular agencies in Puerto Plata, Bávaro/Punta Cana, depending on the state.

For information on the candidates and issues, and the voting from overseas, see FVAP or write to Santo Domingo’s Voting Assistance Officer at VoteSantoDomingo@state.gov
