I've been doing that ever since I moved here in 2019. I also vote in local elections. I'm up to date with my registration for the next round, one in August and then the midterms, and so is hubby. We have the option to vote via post or to scan the filled-in ballot and email it, which is how we've always done it, but it's not allowed everywhere. Also, filing one's registration materials on time is critical and varies by location.
I am allowed to vote in local elections too (Lawrence, KS), and do, such as for mayor, school board, county clerk, judicial appointments, local referendums, etc. Obviously I'm no longer as attached to those outcomes on a daily personal level, but they are tied into what happens upstream. Local election issues are most often on the ballot with state and federal elections cuz then there's higher voter turnout. Isolated local elections are usually about dirty politicians trying to get something bad passed when turnout is low and are thus very important too. I stay informed through a women's political information group I was once in and from close friends.
Apparently, multiple states do not allow overseas voters to vote for dog catcher or mayor. Good for you if yours does. When I sold my property in Georgia in 2018, I lost the right to vote locally.bethannbitt wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2026 10:12 amI am allowed to vote in local elections too (Lawrence, KS), and do, such as for mayor, school board, county clerk, judicial appointments, local referendums, etc. Obviously I'm no longer as attached to those outcomes on a daily personal level, but they are tied into what happens upstream.
