Oaxaca, the State Capital, declared Humanity’s Cultural Patrimony by UNESCO, owes its fame to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its typical foods, and its soft temperate climate, spring-like throughout the year. Its name comes from Huaxyácal (the apex of the guajes, a variety of acacia, of Huaxín, guajes, and yacatl, summit). The Aztecs applied the name to the summit where they built a fortress in 1486. At arrival, the Spaniards founded, next to the old fort, the new Villa de Antequera, and a few years later, returned to the old Aztec fortress to erect, in the same guaje summit, a city that, in 1529 would be founded, built, and peopled as Villa de Oaxaca. The name of Oaxaca comes from the Nahuatl word Huayacac. Its roots are Huaxin (kind of acacia) and Yacalt (peak, edge, top), top of the acacias. King Carlos V of Spain elevated Oaxaca to the rank of "City" in 1532. Currently, it has 244,727 inhabitants and 3,224,270 people are living all over the state. * The source of this information is the Oaxaca-Travel website.

How U.S. Citizens Living Abroad can Vote in the 2012 Elections

How U.S. Citizens Living Abroad can Vote in the 2012 Elections

U.S. Citizens can vote from outside of the U.S.

It's not complicated.  It Counts.  You do not need to have a U.S. address.  Learn here how you can send in your absentee ballot...

Your State of Legal Residence

Your legal residence, for voting purposes, is defined as the state in which you lived prior to moving abroad. You do not need to own or rent property in this state or plan to return someday. In fact, 21 states and the District of Columbia allow U.S. citizens to register in a state in which they have not lived but where a parent is eligible to vote.

Eligibility for Those Living Abroad

You are eligible to vote absentee in U.S. primary and general elections if you are 18 years or older. Some U.S. states allow those living abroad to vote absentee at state and local office elections and referendums. For more information on state elections, visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program’s Voting Assistance Guide or the Overseas Vote Foundation (a non-partisan voter advocacy organization).

Registration and Absentee Ballot Request

If you live abroad, you will need to register to vote with the local election officials in the state of your legal voting residence. Keep in mind that you’ll need to request a new absentee ballot each year you wish to vote. One form will do the job of registering and requesting – the FPCA. You will need a new FPCA if you change your name, address or email.

To get started, visit www.fvap.gov.  The website will guide you step by step through the registration process and provide FPCA forms for download.  For further assitance, you can contact the Federal Voting Assistance Program or the Overseas Vote Foundation. An online assistant will take you through the process.

Sending Your Completed Absentee Ballots

To send your ballot, you can use a variety of user-friendly methods.

• Local mail – That’s right, you can send your ballot via international mail with the appropriate postage.
• U.S. Embassy Pouch/APO/FPO – You can drop your completed ballot at the U.S. Consular Agency in Nuevo Vallarta. Note that it needs to be addressed to your local election officials.Sufficient postage or a  postage-paid envelope (found on FVAP) is a must.
• Email, Fax or online – Many states will allow you to return your completed ballots electronically.Check out FVAP to see what options are available in your state.
• Express Courier Service – If the clock is ticking, and you’re not sure if the other methods will get your ballot in on time, then a professional courier service can get the job done for you. These include UPS, DHL and FedEx.
