Some Americans abroad (Democrats) can now vote online

by waybeyondthebeltway on February 1, 2008 in Americans Abroad, Voting with 5 Comments

In what can only be described as a huge step forward for all Americans abroad, Democrats Abroad is hosting the first Global Presidential Primary from February 5-12, 2008, including online voting, to determine Democrats Abroad’s delegation of 22 to the Democratic National Convention – 14 delegates will be selected, the other eight are Democratic National Committee members — to represent the Democratic Party’s diaspora at the Democratic National Convention. Now if only Republicans Abroad would follow suit.

Democrats living or traveling abroad who have registered to vote in the first Global Presidential Primary may want to check out 2008 Democratic Convention Watch for details about voting centers in Italy, India, Canada and Thailand.

I live in Stockholm, Sweden. Before moving here I was a United States Senate Judiciary Committee Counsel, where I provided legal and legislative advice on a wide range of subjects. I have an insider's understanding of the workings of Capitol Hill and I'm an experienced campaign operative. Today, I work as a government relations consultant and I'm a regular lecturer at the Stockholm University Law Faculty on the subject of the U.S. Legislative Process.

    Dina,

    The easiest way to register to vote and request an absentee ballot is to use Overseas Vote Foundation’s (www.overseasvotefoundation.org) registration wizard.

    Best,
