23 September Consulate Ballot Drop Meetup - Cape Town

 

Vote Early. Get it done - before the Heritage Day long weekend! 

If you vote in a "mail-in" state, you need to either make use of the US Consulate's Diplomatic Pouch service or courier. Overseas ballots come out September 19th and this year its essential to vote right away! Take no chances. 

Let's meet up near the Consulate in Cape Town for coffee, a chat and camaraderie - and most importantly to drop off our ballots and send them on their way! 

This is casual, you can pop in for a few minutes or stay and have lunch. RSVPs are encouraged so we know to expect you, but not necessary.  

Not sure if you vote in a “mail-in” state? Check your state’s rules https://www.votefromabroad.org/states  

The US Consulate in Cape Town has provided drop boxes at both entrances so you can drop your ballots off 24/7! 

However...Details Matter - Please read up and be prepared
You can find info on How to Vote from South Africa, including use of the Consulate Diplomatic Pouch to return your ballot at https://www.democratsabroad.org/how_to_vote_from_south_africa   

We strongly suggest the deadline of 29 September for the diplomatic pouch as it can take several weeks.
