Why Voter Engagement is Urgent
EVERY vote from abroad is counted, and every vote can make the difference.
Each year, Americans abroad reach out to us on Election Day, thinking they do not need to request their ballot in advance. Education is absolutely critical, and hearing that you’ve already requested your ballot - or that you’ve already voted! - will encourage others to do the same.
Meanwhile, Republican-controlled state governments are actively working to make it harder for Americans to vote. We must protect our right to vote by using it.
Control of the Senate and House could rest with our votes.
Voting rights can be secured because of our votes.
Minority and women’s rights can be defended because of our votes.
Keeping the White House in check could rest with our votes.
Democracy can be restored because of our votes.
