"I just wanted to let you know that Tyler and I sent in our absentee ballots … . It was an easy process to register online and then, once the ballot was sent by email, we were able to fill it in online and then print the completed ballot with its mailer. It was our second time voting absentee here in Germany and it was easy, easy."

US citizens living overseas should be aware that, because of voter suppression (including purges of the voter rolls) in about half of US states, registering annually is more important than ever before. Preserve your right to vote.
FAWCO recommends that you register to vote every January, whether an election is scheduled or not. Simply go to one the websites of FAWCO's partners, listed below, to register for the first time or to reregister for the year (and any special elections that might occur). And then spread the word to your family and friends.
