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.
To search for the registered letter sent by the Electoral Administration, use your civil identification number and date of birth.
If you are registered in Portugal but are temporarily abroad, you can vote in person at the Consulate General, between February 27 and 29 from 8:30 am to 4 pm, in the following situations:
- You are abroad as a result of exercising public or private functions.
- You are abroad officially representing the national team, organized by a sports federation with public benefit status.
- You are a student, researcher, teacher or research grant holder and abroad in a higher education institution, research unit or equivalent recognized by the competent ministry.
- Are ill and undergoing treatment abroad.
- Living with or accompanying the voters mentioned above.
