Voter Registration

The 2010 Midterm Election

The Midterm election in 2010 is just around the corner, and it is just as important as the Presidential Election, if not more so. We must win back all the Democratic seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, and more so. We must try to elect Democratic state Governors, as well.

As you know, Democrats Abroad is recognized as a state party by the Democratic National Committee, and as such we play a pivotal role in delivering overseas votes for Democrats.

Starting in January we are going to be holding voter registration drives across the country. In Stockholm, we will be holding Voter Registration Assistance every last holiday-free Saturday of the month at Tully’s, Götgatan 42, T-Medborgarplatsen, 11 am to 1 pm, starting on Saturday, January 30, 2010. From September 2010 up until Election Day, the Voter Registration Committee will be at Tully’s every Saturday to help you. We will also have an evening Voter Registration Kickoff and Mingle Event on January 27, 2010, as well as an Emergency Write-in Absentee Ballot evening in October, 2010.

Illinois has its primary on February 2, 2010,and Texas, on March 2, 2010, so those of you who are registered in those states need to request your absentee ballots as soon as possible.

In order to request your ballot please go to www.votefromabroad.org and fill out your application. For state-specfic information, go to www.fvap.gov .

If you have any questions about your voting, do not hesitate to contact me at secretary@democratsabroad.se .
