- Here's a friendly encouragement to register to vote in the upcoming American elections. You can register here: https://www.votefromabroad.org/
- We're looking to help Americans in Osaka register to vote, assist others exercise their Constitutional right to vote, and possibly organize chill events on the ground.
We're Democrats Abroad Japan, a volunteer organization that helps Americans exercise their voting rights and advocates for Americans overseas (including tax reform). If you want to know about events in your area and receive a yearly reminder to renew your voting registration, you can become a member of Democrats Abroad. These events are open to everyone, including non-Americans, and are great for networking and making friends. Note: due to federal laws, only Americans can become official members of DA.
There are also volunteer positions available, ranging from helping people troubleshoot their ballot request, to sharing a link to register to vote. You can also organize local events at your capacity, such as a 4th of July picnic with cold beers. Volunteering looks good on a resume, and helps make the world a better place. DM me for me info or fill out the form here.
Note: This post is not intended to be partisan. We believe strongly in democracy and support everyone to exercise their right to vote.

Quick question: How is my vote counted if I vote abroad? As the US does not does count everyone’s vote equally, it makes a difference whether or not I take the time to vote. Thanks.

I would like to vote but I have concerns that maybe someone could kindly help me with. I’m from PA. I’ve been living in Japan for a while. I’m registered as an independent. I have a social security number but my driver’s license is no longer valid. I have had no income in America for about 25 years nor have I paid taxes. My family no longer lives at my last known address. Incidentally, this is the address which I used to register over 30 years ago.
Will any of these variables throw a monkey wrench into participating in the upcoming vote?
If it’s too much hassle and my vote won’t be properly counted anyway I might have to reconsider.
I still have an American passport and currently have permanent residence in Japan. If that matters.
This is ballot harvesting, another way of cheating this election sponsored by Democrats. Be careful on providing personal information in OP’s request. Contact your state directly to request a ballot instead if utilizing third-party organization.
