HOW TO VOTE FROM SPAIN

Democrats Abroad Spain is a large and active country committee. Our seven chapters and precincts reach across all of Spain.

Our Mission

To provide Americans living in Spain a voice in US politics, and to help elect Democrats by enabling Americans in Spain to more easily vote in the US. We also foster community among Americans in Spain.

Why Join Democrats Abroad?

It’s free to join Democrats Abroad! Only US citizens of voting age, and living abroad, are eligible to join, but most activities are open to non-citizens as well.

  1. Make your vote count: U.S. elections affect you, no matter where you live. Democrats Abroad helps you register and vote from abroad, easily and on time.
  2. Build community: Connect with other Americans who share your values and understand the expat, student abroad, or immigrant experience.
  3. Stay informed: Get updates on policy changes, election news, and issues that impact Americans overseas.
  4. Create impact from anywhere: Your voice matters. Help shape Democratic platforms and contribute to grassroots organizing that reaches all the way back home.
  5. Be part of the solution: Whether you volunteer, attend events, or simply stay in the loop, your involvement helps protect democracy.
