U.S. issues voting guide for citizens in Nigeria ahead of 2024 elections

The United States Mission in Nigeria has issued a crucial guide for American citizens living in the country, detailing the steps needed to vote in the upcoming elections on November 5, 2024.

In a statement released via its official social media account, the mission emphasized the importance of participating in the electoral process and outlined three key steps for voters:

Request a Ballot: U.S. citizens must first visit FVAP.gov to request their ballots.

Complete the Ballot: After receiving their ballots, voters should fill them out according to the provided instructions.

Return the Ballot: Completed ballots can be dropped off at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos in a postage-paid envelope, or mailed directly by the voter.

The mission urged citizens to complete these steps promptly to avoid any potential delays that could impact their ability to vote.
