American Post Office

Where do I find an American Post Office in the Manila area ?? I need to mail my ballot for the upcoming election and need to make sure it get's there.  The Election Office in my home town recommended an APO.(American Post Office)  Locating one would be helpful for future needs.

They won't permit you to use the mail service unless you are an authorized user. (Active/Retired U.S. Military, U.S. Govt employee, etc.)

I mailed mine in last week. Instructions were;

If mailed using the provided envelope template, your ballot does not require postage when sent via U.S. Mail, APO/FPO or Diplomatic Pouch. If mailed in a foreign postal system, international airmail postage must be affixed. In the return address section in the upper left-hand corner of the envelope template, enter your name and current complete military or overseas mailing address. In the TO section in the center of the envelope template, confirm the name and mailing address of your County Board of Elections. This must be the same election official to whom you sent your application for an absentee ballot.

I have attached a recent newsletter from our local RAO, in case it has voting information that might help someone.

Some states allow voting by e-mail, but in most cases only for service members.

The RAO has APO, but as Rooster said, I think it is only for qualified users.

I was emailed the ballot from the election office in Bastrop, Texas. I just need to mail it and don't want to pay $30.00 for to to get there in time (maybe)  Is there any way to send it from the US Embassy ??
