Thank you for highlighting the ability of all Americans to vote from abroad! There are millions of US citizens living outside the US and many do not know they can vote or how to do it. But even those of us who do vote already make the difference in and decide close elections. I have been volunteering as a FVAP Voting Assistance Official for over ten years in the UK and have focussed on the huge number of college students who come here for a semester, year or longer. The FVAP.gov website is fine, but we try to use the votefromabroad.org or students.votefromabroad.org website as most voters can fill out and send in their ballot request form directly from their smartphones, and also get access to more information about state and local races. Please keep highlighting overseas voters because most Americans know some citizens who are outside the US either temporarily or indefinitely.

Thank you, Laura! Voting access, regardless of where one lives, is the key to good voter turn out. We will keep on this!
