American citizens may receive a Federal Post Card Application to register to vote from the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi or the U.S. Consulate General in Dubai. State regulations determine voting requirements. You can find more information about your state’s requirements for voting overseas from the Federal Voting Assistance Program. In some circumstances, you may be eligible to use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot if you have not received your ballot from your home state in time.
