Together, the voice of Americans abroad is millions strong with the power to swing elections all across the country. We vote in presidential elections, midterms for Congress, and local and special elections happening all the time. Our overseas voting website — www.votefromabroad.org — is the simplest, most effective way to make sure you never miss your chance to be heard.

As a US citizen, you can vote from anywhere on the planet. You need to register and request your overseas ballot every calendar year.  It's easy to do - in most cases you can complete the entire process on your smartphone.

US Elections have Global Impact

VOLUNTEER

We’re all volunteers here and there’s always a way to get involved. We need help planning and organizing activities, helping voters get their ballots, and managing our database and social media. And every 2 years, we elect leaders who will guide us through the next election cycle. Whether you like meeting new people or working behind the screen, please get in touch to help make it all happen. 

JOIN A CAUCUS:

Our caucuses are global teams focused on specific issues within our diverse community. We invite you to follow and get involved in the activities of any or all of them. We’d love to organize local caucus groups in Portugal and are always looking for volunteers ready to take the lead.
