The Brighton & Sussex Vote From Abroad Team will be hosting a US Voter Registration Stall at the University of Sussex Freshers' Fair on Wednesday 23rd Sepember 2026 from 11:00-16:00pm.

Americans living abroad must request an overseas ballot every year to ensure they receive all ballots for elections they’re eligible for - primaries, special elections, and the general election in November 2026.

If you know any American students at the University of Sussex please share the word with them and encourage them to come find us at the fair.

If you want to help volunteer at our voting registration stall, please get in touch with Margaretta at [email protected] for more information. If you're interested in organising other voter registration events in the Brighton/Sussex area, please also reach out to the team!

Please note: in order to volunteer at a voter registration drive, you must complete the online voter registration training (or have already done so). Online trainings are being hosted every Monday night at 7:30pm, please click here for more details and to sign up.

Did You Know...

According to post-2024 election census data, as many as one in four Americans either are not registered to vote, or don't know if they're registered to vote. With the help of a nonpartisan, coordinated, nationwide effort to get citizens of every stripe registered to vote in time for their next election, we’ll build a stronger democracy where electoral outcomes reflect the will of the American people.

Here are ways you can take action now:

★ Register to Vote using Vote from Abroad’s Online Portal

★ Explore your State Voting Requirements & Information .

★ Get live help with any voting question from Vote from Abroad support

★ Request Your Absentee Ballot or download a back up ballot if you haven’t received one in time

★ Make a plan to vote – put deadlines in your diary!

★ Have an election this year? Find out on ballotpedia.org and see what’s on your ballot.

Thank you for taking a few moments to strengthen your community and preserve democratic representation in the US with your voting voice.
