I've been able to vote abroad in state/presidential elections from my last address in the US. I do it by email.

My only major hiccup is that the MA secretary of state's website www.sec.state.ma.us (which has the info about upcoming elections, the tool to check your registration, and the instructions for voting overseas) is blocked in Japan "for cybersecurity reasons". I've tried contacting the department of state and my state representative about this, but nothing's come of it.

The government of Cambridge on the other hand has been quite pleasant to deal with.

I’ve tried. The local clerk of courts required contact via fax.

You’re at the mercy of your local election officials.
