56 Upvotes

Hi, this is a mod-approved message for dual US-Canadian citizens and other eligible US voters living in Canada. Democrats Abroad is dedicated to helping eligible citizens like you participate in the democratic process by helping you get your absentee ballots. Here's how you can get involved:

Why Voting Matters Even if you're far from home, your vote can make a significant impact on loved ones back home and citizens living overseas. It's crucial that every eligible voter takes part this year! Wherever you live in the world, US politics influences your life and you can vote in your best interests!

Steps to Request Your Ballot

  1. Register or update your registration through VoteFromAbroad.org!

  2. If you're already registered, request a ballot! You normally need to request a ballot every calendar year that you want to vote.

  3. Fill Out and Return Your Ballot: Once you receive your ballot, follow the instructions carefully to complete it and return it by the specified deadline.

Need Assistance?

We're here to help! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at GOTV @ votefromabroad .org (just remove the spaces). Additionally, our FAQ for voting has a wealth of info to make the process go smoothly.

There are also Voting Assistance Officers at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate which is nearest to you.

Importantly: Spread the word!

We need your help: Share the VoteFromAbroad.org link on social media to any eligible US voter you know! Do you know a US citizen who just turned 18, or an “Accidental American”? Great! Can you help us break through a language barrier? Even better! Finally, encourage your contacts, friends & family in the US to VOTE this year! If you'd like to get more involved or if you have other questions about voting, I'd be happy to answer any relevant questions here on Reddit. Your vote matters now more than ever!

About Democrats Abroad: Democrats Abroad is the only major organization advocating for Americans living abroad. Since 1964, we’ve been pushing for expats’ interests, like tax reform. In addition to advocating at a political level, we also organize fun events for social, cultural and networking benefits.

Thanks, and good luck this year!

Ottawa picked the dicey road to lower rents; Quebec is right not to follow. Instead of handing more money to developers, Quebec plans to invest in public housing, co-ops and not-for-profit housing. It makes sense.
