Democrats Abroad get busy as election seasons heats up

VoteFromAbroad.Org, Democrats Abroad’s voter registration tool, has been refreshed, re-invigorated and re-launched.

The new-look website is now optimized for mobile devices, making voter registration activities easier, more effective and further-reaching than ever. Democratic National Committee Chairperson, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is urging every U.S. citizen living abroad (Republicans, too) to request a ballot at VoteFromAbroad.Org. She reminds all U.S. citizens that the vote from abroad has made a big difference in razor-thin races and the absentee ballot gives citizens a voice in the direction their home country takes.
