Packing Up & Peacing Out

Staying Engaged with Politics in Your Home Country from Abroad


Listen Later

Do you vote in your home country from your home abroad? 

In today's episode, we discuss how we stay politically engaged with your home country while living abroad. As we recorded on U.S. election day, we shared our personal experiences and practical advice on voting and staying engaged with politics from thousands of miles away.

We dig into:

  • The surprising statistics about Americans eligible to vote abroad

  • Why staying engaged matters (even when you're far away)

  • Navigating "survivor's guilt" and frustration when watching political developments from afar

  • Getting involved in your new country's politics (even when you can't vote)

  • Center for U.S. Voters Abroad - Makes it super easy to know how to vote from abroad as a U.S. citizen regardless of what country you live in

  • Remember: American citizens have the right to vote no matter how long they've lived abroad!
