I just registered to vote in the upcoming US elections, even though I live in Canada.  I was able to register through the help of the Federal Voting Assistance Program, which provides a simple registration form that can be used to register in every US state and territory except American Samoa and Guam.    US Citizens living overseas can register to vote in the US state they last physically resided in.  I lived in Owl's Head, Maine before I moved to Nova Scotia, so that's where I registered.    I meant to submit an article about my experience to help other US expatriates who are k5 readers, but life intervened and I didn't get around to registering until after the deadline for most states.    You might still be able to register depending on your state, and in any case your registration will still be valid for the 2006 elections.      The deadline for absentee voters in Maine is tomorrow.  Fortunately, Maine accepts the Federal Post Card Application by fax.  Not every state does, one reason the instructions are complex and hard to understand.    Read on for details of how you can register from overseas.
