US election law permits any American citizen, living anywhere in the world, to vote in his or her last state of residence by absentee ballot, no matter how long they’ve lived abroad or if they have dual citizenship. Approximately 1.8 million eligible American voters living Abroad received ballots in 2020, and Vote from Abroad users logged in from 221 different countries.

In the State of Arizona in 2020 there were 18,435 ballots from Abroad and the State was decided for President Biden by 10,457 votes. 

A similar outcome happened in Georgia where there were 18,475 ballots from Abroad and President Biden won by 11,779 votes.

If you are an American or dual citizen, regardless of party affiliation, you can quickly and easily register to vote at: votefromabroad.org

If you aren’t an American citizen, you can still have a positive affect by encouraging all your American friends and relatives, no matter where they live, in the USA or any other country, to register and to vote.

Thank you,
