U.S. citizens living outside of the United States are urged to vote in the Global Presidential Primary. For Democrats living abroad, there is nothing more important than voting in the GPP and getting as many others to do the same. We will be counted by the number of votes we register in the #2016GPP and a strong turn-out will ensure elected officials remember they represent Americans living outside of the country too.
Democrats Abroad Have a Voice
Democrats Abroad’s Global Presidential Primary provides overseas Americans a voice in selecting the party's nominee for president.
In Switzerland, Americans may vote in person at Global Presidential Primary Voting Centers in Geneva and Zürich.
Beginning Super-Tuesday, March 1 until March 8, Democrats living abroad will vote in a dedicated global presidential primary to choose the party's candidate for the presidential election. Based on our votes, Democrats Abroad will send 21 voting delegates to the Democratic Party National Convention.
The National Convention will be July 25-28 in Philadelphia, PA, at which time the Democratic candidate for presidential election is chosen. And with your help, we will see the next Democratic President of the United States elected on November 8, 2016!
