This year marks 250 years since the United States Declaration of Independence. And if you're a US citizen who's studying, working, or living abroad, that same right to be heard is still yours – and it's easier than ever to use it.

VoteFromAbroad.org is a free, non-partisan resource that helps US staff and students living overseas register to vote, request absentee ballots, and understand state-specific voting requirements. The platform offers:

  • easy-to-follow guidance
  • digital form completion
  • bilingual resources in English and Spanish
  • access to voter support if you need assistance

It also provides information on emergency backup ballots to help ensure you can vote, even if your official ballot is delayed.
