South Carolina U.S. Senate Special Republican Primary: The State of South Carolina will conduct a U.S. Senate special primary election on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. Service members, eligible family members, and overseas U.S. citizens registering to vote by mail must postmark the registration request by July 12, 2026. Registration by email, online, or fax, must be received by July 13, 2026. Mailed ballots must be sent by August 11, 2026, but still must be received by 5pm on the day after the election. The State of South Carolina strongly encourages, due to the tight timeframe between candidate certification and Election Day, voters who receive ballots by mail to contact their county voter registration and election office and switch to email delivery. If a voter sends their ballot back by email or fax, it must be received by 7pm on August 11, 2026. Detailed instructions and county contact information are available at (South Carolina) FVAP.gov. Voters can verify the status of their voting materials by contacting their election office directly or use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot if necessary.

South Carolina U.S. Senate Special Republican Primary Runoff (if necessary): The special primary runoff election (if required) will be on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. Service members, eligible family members, and overseas U.S. citizens will receive an instant runoff ballot with their Primary election ballot package. If registering to vote by mail, the voter must postmark the registration request by July 26, 2026. Registration by email, online, or fax, must be received by July 27, 2026. Mailed ballots must be sent by August 25, 2026, but still must be received by 5pm on the day after the election. If a voter sends their ballot back by email or fax, it must be received by 7pm on August 25, 2026. Detailed instructions and county contact information are available at (South Carolina) FVAP.gov. Voters can verify the status of their voting materials by contacting their election office directly or use the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot if necessary.

2026 State Primary Elections: To register and request an absentee ballot use FVAP’s easy online assistant at www.fvap.gov/FPCA to walk you through state-specific form completion. Once you complete the FPCA, print, sign, and send it to your election office. Most states accept the FPCA by email or fax while some require it by mail. Check your state-specific guidelines at FVAP.gov.

Once you receive your requested absentee ballot, vote and return it as soon as you get it. Remember to carefully follow the instructions, especially using a “security envelope” if required, and sign the package as indicated when returning it. To save time, send voted ballots electronically if allowed by state law. Voters can check if their state accepts completed absentee ballots by email, fax, or via an online portal at FVAP.gov/guide. If a requested ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) immediately at www.fvap.gov/FWAB. It works like a backup ballot. If your official absentee ballot arrives after sending in the FWAB, complete and send in the official ballot, too. Only one will be counted. To make sure the voted ballot is received by your state. Go to FVAP.gov, click on your state and then the "check the status of your voted ballot" button.

To find your state's election website for specific information on candidates, elections, contact information, and links to your local election offices, visit FVAP.gov and select your state from the dropdown menu. You can also reach out directly to your election office for status updates on your registration and absentee ballot.

The Department of Defense is required to send this email notification starting 90 days before each election for federal office. This information is current as of July 28th, 2026. As updates may occur, please check the election calendars and state guidelines at FVAP.gov for real time information.

Attend an FVAP Voting Assistance Town Hall - Learn the key steps of voting absentee and ask questions to an FVAP representative. You can find the links to town halls under “Latest FVAP News” on FVAP.gov.

Summer Prevention Series-Keeping Our Kids Safe #2

# data[].attributes.body
As temperatures rise, so do the risks for our little ones. Let's work together to prevent heat-related injuries and keep our children safe this summer!

🚗 Hot Car Safety is Non-Negotiable:
Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle, not even for a minute. The temperature inside a car can spike to dangerous levels incredibly fast.
Pro Tip: Create a "back-seat check" routine! Leave your bag, phone, or badge in the back seat so you always look before you lock.

👀 Supervision Matters:
Are you up to date on your local and installation-specific supervision rules? Understanding these guidelines is key to keeping kids safe, whether they are in the car, at the pool, or playing in the neighborhood.

🤝 We're Here to Help:
You don't have to navigate parenting alone. Reach out to Military OneSource or your installation's Family Advocacy Program for support, resources, and tips for a safe, fun summer.

Let's make this a safe and happy summer for our military community!

# data[].attributes.body
All military members, eligible family members and overseas US citizens are encouraged to fill out and submit a new Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to their election office every January to register and apply for absentee ballot for the calendar year.

It is important to complete a new FPCA annually, and every time a person moves to ensure ballots for unscheduled or special elections are sent in a timely manner depending on the state.

To find your State's election website for specific information on candidates, elections, contact information, and links to your local election offices, visit our contact page https://www.fvap.gov/info/contact. You can also reach out directly to your election office for status updates on your registration and absentee ballot.

Register and request a ballot with the Federal Post card Application (FPCA) https://www.fvap.gov/

Hard copy version is available at the Installation Voter Assistance (IVA) Office at your Military & Family Readiness Center (M&FRC)

Looking for something specific?

Determine your State of voting residence if you’re a Service members and family (https://www.fvap.gov/military-voter/voting-residence), or an overseas citizen (https://www.fvap.gov/citizen-voter/voting-residence)

·        See your State guidelines

·        See election dates and deadlines

·        Find your election office

·        Check the status of your voted ballot

The FVAP online tool will walk you through the form, and provide you with a PDF packet to print, sign and send directly to your Local Election Official (LEO); links are also provided here for States that offer online voter registration. You can check the status of your registration and/or ballot request by contacting your LEO at any time

Remember, the only way your LEO knows how to reach you is with the information you provide! Some States allow a longer time between registrations, but if you submit a new FPCA every year, you won't have to worry about your registration or ballot request status and can vote in all the elections you're eligible to participate in.

Being registered ensures you will be able to participate in upcoming scheduled elections.
