Voting from Abroad

Voting from Abroad photo


If you're American, living in Japan, and politically active, you should have already cast your vote since it takes about 2 weeks to get where it needs to go. 


Most of my friends who opt for paper ballots got them, filled them out and sent them back weeks ago. I dragged my feet since I was in the middle of a couple of hyperfocus projects and finally got around to printing out what I needed, filling it out and sending it in last week.


I did what I could. Let's hope it helps.

    I was able to vote online a few weeks back (Louisiana allows this). But, yeah, vote!

    @DavidM Yes, Texas doesn't allow online registration or voting, so I did this. Absolutely agree though. Vote!

    @JTsu Watched a discussion with a political scientist who explained that Texas is one of the states that makes it difficult to vote, more so than most other states, which explains its low turnout (37% last election).
