Getting ready for 2020!


For the past several months, DA members and supporters have come together for drinks, debates, and discussion at The Village Tap Room. 

Whether you're a long-time Madrid resident, living here temporarily, or just passing through town, feel free to stop by and join us! Although only U.S. citizens can become members of Democrats Abroad, nationals from other countries are always welcome at these events. 

At the January debate, four newcomers decided to become a member of Democrats Abroad. Out of the 30 attendees, over a dozen had already requested an absentee ballot. 

As overseas voters, we can request a ballot through VoteFromAbroad.org and vote in the General Presidential Primary (GPP). If you're not already a member of Democrats Abroad, you can join when you request your ballot.

In Madrid, we'll be holding GPP in-person voting events on three days:

Tuesday, March 3
The Village Tap Room calle Martin de los Heros, 28 28008
6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Saturday, March 7
The Village Tap Room 
11:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Sunday, March 8
The Village Tap Room 
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Hundreds of overseas Americans joined us for the GPP in 2016. We hope you'll be among them this year!

In February, we will get an invite to choose delegates for Democrats Abroad for the Democratic National Convention. Out of all the chapters worldwide, delegates from the Madrid chapter have been chosen to attend multiple times over the past few years. If you'd be interested in applying, let us know!

Stay tuned for more updates about events, voting, and other information! We'll keep you updated here and through our social media channels.
