Portugal

Welcome to Democrats Abroad Portugal! 

Whether you’re temporarily overseas or moving to Portugal, Democrats Abroad Portugal brings us all together to keep connected to the political process back in the US.  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. 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.

Keep voting, stay engaged

Overseas voters often make the difference in close races! Democrats Abroad Portugal is the official Democratic Party arm for American citizens living in Portugal.

EVENTS & ACTIVITIES

Throughout the year, we get together to make friends and make a difference. As a member, we’ll keep you informed of everything from 4th of July celebrations and Thanksgiving dinners to issue-oriented actions — check out our events here.

GET INVOLVED

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.
