Ever wondered how American expats and immigrants can successfully vote from abroad? This episode's guest—an experienced expat voter—takes us through the essential steps and resources available, like the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP). Learn how to navigate the labyrinth of state-specific rules for absentee voting, and get insider tips on ensuring your ballot makes it back to the U.S. on time. From emailing your vote (where allowed) to using consular services for mailing, our guest's firsthand stories illuminate the process and provide practical advice.

Discover the logistical journey your ballot undertakes—from diplomatic pouches to consular mailrooms—and understand why planning ahead is crucial. The episode also explores alternative methods like FedEx for those last-minute submissions. Whether you've been abroad for a year or a decade, this episode is packed with actionable insights to ensure your voice is heard in American elections, no matter where you are in the world.
