TotallyOz Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I am a very liberal Democrat but it doesn't matter to me which party you are from if you are from the USA. I think everyone has a duty to vote. Have you started the process if you are in Thailand? Have you made plans? If you don't vote and the rules change for expats or overseas banking or medical coverage or etc. you really can't complain. Please vote for the party of your choice (preferably the one with the handsome black man on top of the white guy on the ticket and not the one who wears magic underwear). KhorTose 1 Quote
Bob Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I just got back "home" here in Chiangmai and took steps to make sure I could vote here. Rather nifty - they're going to email me the ballot and then I'll print it out, make my preferences, and then have two choices to get it back (either give it to the Consulate and they'll deliver it to the states within 48 hours or via regular mail). Note to expats voting outside the US: My state (Michigan) like some others have somewhat detailed rules regarding voting outside the US so please be very careful to pay attention to all the details they send you with an absentee ballot. For example, should I choose to mail my ballot back, the envelope in which I mail it must have written somewhere on the front "Official Ballot" or they won't even open it. This election might be very close so be careful to follow the detailed rules to make sure your vote counts. Quote
Guest thaiworthy Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 This is how I'm going to vote. I saw it on a bulletin board at the US Embassy in Bangkok yesterday. http://www.fvap.gov Quote
