Voting from Abroad

For any stray Americans who wander into this blog - if you will be out of the country during the election it is easy to vote from abroad. Or at least it is easy to get the process started. If you go to http://www.votefromabroad.com/ you can fill out forms to get an absentee ballot. You can also register to vote if you haven't done that. You can't send in the form on-line - you have to download it ( the form can be e-mailed for downloading later) and mail it to the Elections Board - the site includes the specific address on your form. So no guessing or extra work on your part.

A friend voted during the primary from Sweden and reported the ballot was delivered to her apartment. So if you aren't registered or applied for an absentee ballot no time like the present.

  • Hi Liz -- I ran into Doug this morning on his way to work and he told me about your Fulbright and your blog. You really put a smile on my face by having this post about voting as the first one I saw! Thanks for providing this great info. I hope you readers stateside will also find out about early voting in their areas. Lock in your vote early so that you don't miss a chance to vote because something comes up on election day.
