Calling all US Citizens! Your Vote Matters!
If you're a US citizen who lives outside the US, you have the right to vote in US elections. It doesn’t matter if you're not currently registered to vote in the US, have never voted in the US, have been outside the US for a very long time or never lived in the US!
All overseas voters are eligible to vote in federal elections, that is, for President, US Senate, and US House of Representatives. Federal elections take place every two (2) years. Overseas voters may vote in federal primary elections as well as the general election and in any special federal elections that may be required outside of the regularly scheduled elections.
Some overseas voters are also eligible to vote in state elections (such as Governor, State Representative, or State Senator).
