Information for voters registered to vote by postal service in the jurisdiction of this Consulate General:

Even though the stamp exemption on the envelope used to send the ballot paper is legally accepted, unfortunately, some USPS postal services (despite our contacts with those responsible for them) are returning the envelopes to voters due to the lack of a stamp. We suggest anyone in this situation report the matter to the National Electoral Commission. To overcome the situation, several voters are putting a stamp on the envelope.

As part of the Assembly of the Republic elections, which will be held on March 10, 2024, the Voter Portal will allow voters registered abroad to track and locate the letter with their ballot paper.


The tracking can be done through this link.
