Glad to see this getting some press. I got my ballot and have also helped 2 others register this year. Many people don't realize how easy it is to vote abroad!

I’ve got my overseas ballot. Just have to fill it out and send it in now.

Nice! Make sure to do that sooner rather than later since it can take a bit of time for the ballot to get back
