Absentee Ballot Request for US-based and Overseas Voters Abroad, Election Dates / Deadlines, and How to Vote in your State

U.S. Vote Foundation is proud to support young civic developers to bring their unique development ideas forward. Poliquicks is an exemplary member of our 2024 U.S. Vote Foundation Civic Data - Young Developer Sponsorship Program. The new Poliquicks app is now available – just in time to help you cast your 2024 ballot!

Poliquicks was born out of the growing need for transparency and simplicity in political education. The app’s primary goal is to demystify the political process, breaking down complex topics into bite-sized, easy-to-understand pieces. Whether you're a first-time voter or a seasoned political enthusiast, Poliquicks ensures you’re informed and equipped with nonpartisan facts that can help you engage more confidently in the democratic process.

US.VOTE’s new interactive how-to-vote tool, the Voter Journey Map (VJM), is popular with students. Educators and parents are embracing the downloadable instructional guide to teach teenagers about American democracy. High school social studies students are taught that they should vote. But are they taught how to vote?

US.VOTE has created a companion downloadable Voter Journey Map instructional guide for government, politics, and civics courses to use in the classroom or as a homework assignment.

Registering from one’s home address may be simple for those who don’t move around much. But for those Americans who relocate regularly – roughly 10% of the country moves each year – preparing to vote can feel a little trickier.

Where do you vote if you just moved? If you have two homes, from which one do you register? What if you live abroad, or in a different state, as a military member or ex-pat? Or maybe you’re a student studying outside your home state? Even homeless? We talk you through it in this blog.
