Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the purpose of the Global Presidential Primary?

Democrats Abroad is an official state party within the Democratic Party. That means, like other states, we hold our primary election for the Democratic presidential nominee and send delegates to the nominating convention. Democrats Abroad will send 21 delegates who will represent our constituency in Milwaukee, WI, from July 13–16, 2020, at the Democratic National Convention.

Who is eligible to participate?

  • Be abroad and be a U.S. citizen
  • Be a member of Democrats Abroad (Join here)
  • Be 18 as of November 3, 2020
  • Not have voted, or plan to vote, in any other 2020 state presidential primary

What if I’m not a member of Democrats Abroad?

You can sign up today, or on the day of the primary. Joining Democrats Abroad is free, fast, and has many benefits.

Can I vote both in the GPP and in my home state’s presidential primary?

No. You can only vote for the presidential nominee in one primary. However, you can still vote in your home state in primary races for other positions, such as for your members of Congress. Just be sure to skip the presidential question.

I can’t attend the event but want to vote. What can I do?

If you can’t join us in person, as long as you’re a member of Democrats Abroad, you can also vote remotely. If you were a member of Democrats Abroad before February 18, 2020, you should have a ballot from us in your inbox from February 18. If you can't find that email, or you joined Democrats Abroad after February 18, 2020, you will need to download a GPP ballot here.

Why should I participate in the GPP instead of voting in my home state’s presidential primary?

  • Your vote counts more in terms of the voter-to-delegate ratio. Compare Democrats Abroad’s 9,523 votes per delegate with Pennsylvania’s 33,333 per delegate or California’s 40,360 per delegate. A vote with Democrats Abroad is more than four times more powerful than in the California primary.
  • Voting order—Democrats Abroad votes earlier compared to many states (including FL, IL, OH, NY, and PA), so you have an earlier chance in shaping the outcome of the primary process.
  • You will be able to vote in person.
  • Your vote will help reinforce that Americans abroad are an important voting group.


Who will win the Global Presidential Primary?

That’s up to you to decide! We’ll be announcing the results of our primary on March 23, so stay tuned!

I have questions about voting in the GPP and in the November general election.

Please email [email protected] so we can help!

 

Important Information: You will still need to request a ballot for the general election on November 3, 2020. Request your ballot today at https://www.votefromabroad.org/.
