Thurston County is dedicated to ensuring expedited ballot access is available to our overseas citizens and service members.
These citizens are provided extra securities and measures under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) and the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE).
Any Thurston County resident who is Active-Duty military, is an immediate family member of an Active-Duty service member, or is a citizen overseas, has many options to participate, cast a ballot, and help us ensure his or her vote counts. |
|
Already Registered? |
For those voters who have given us proper notice and have confirmed military / overseas status, we deliver ballots 31- 45 days prior to the election date.
|
|
Need to Register? |
For those UOCAVA voters who have not yet registered, the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) is the preferred form for registering to vote. You may complete and print this form directly from the Federal Voting Assistance Program website and mail directly to the Thurston County Auditor's Office at, 2000 Lakeridge Dr. SW, Olympia, WA 98502. You may also register directly from Washington state by clicking here.
If there are less than 40 days until the date of the election, we recommend that you also contact our office to ensure your application is processed in time for you to participate in the election.

Registered but Need Extra Time? Get your Ballots sent to you Electronically! |
For those UOCAVA voters who are always on the move, or in areas of extremely slow postal service, we also provide E-Ballots. E-Ballot program participants are sent their ballot materials electronically. The voter must print, vote, and return his or her ballot package by mail. This adds more time for ballot delivery earlier in the election process.
