DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 2022 PRIMARY ELECTION
Important Information
As an eligible registered voter in the District of Columbia, you may vote by mail, Mail Ballot Drop Box,
or in person.

1) VOTE BY MAIL OR MAIL BALLOT DROP BOX
    Every active voter registered with one of the four major parties (Democratic, Republican, DC Statehood
    Green, and Libertarian) will be mailed a ballot for the June 21 Primary Election.

    Mail Ballot Return
    Voters can return a completed ballot using any of the 55 Mail Ballot Drop Boxes located throughout the District.
    A listing of locations can be found on page 8, or by visiting https://www.dcboe.org. Mail-in ballots may be returned
    via the U.S. Postal Service or any Vote Center.

    Military and Overseas Voters
    Additional services are available to military and overseas voters (members of the uniformed services, their spouses or
    dependents, and overseas civilian voters). U.S. citizens who were born overseas have the opportunity to vote from the
    same address where a parent most recently lived in the District of Columbia.
          Military and overseas voters can use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), which serves as a combined
    voter registration and absentee ballot request document. The FPCA is available for download from the Department
    of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) at www.fvap.gov/district-of-columbia. You may email
    your completed FPCA to uocava@dcboe.org .
          You can receive and return your absentee (mail-in) ballot by mail, fax, or email. The deadline for returning your
    ballot is June 18. If it is getting close to the June 18 deadline and you have not received your requested mail ballot,
    you can use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) as an emergency, backup ballot. FVAP provides fillable
    FWAB forms and provides assistance in using FWABs at www.fvap.gov/district-of-columbia .

    Eligible Incarcerated Voters
    All eligible incarcerated DC residents, including those awaiting trial, may vote in the June 21 Primary Election.
    These individuals will be mailed a ballot.

       All voted ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, June 21 and received by June 28, the 7th day after the Election.

    Residents of Licensed Nursing and Assisted-Living Facilities
    Eligible residents who are living—temporarily or permanently—at licensed District of Columbia nursing homes,
    assisted-living facilities, or federal medical centers may vote in the June 21 Primary. These residents may vote at a
    Vote Center or using an absentee (mail-in) ballot. These individuals will be mailed a ballot.

       All voted ballots must be postmarked by Tuesday, June 21 and received by June 28, the 7th day after the Election.

2) VOTE IN PERSON
     If you prefer, you may cast your ballot in person at any Vote Center location regardless of your residential
     address. You may also return your voted mail-in ballot to any Vote Center location.

                                                               2
