voting abroad
Overseas electoral participation
Voting abroad is casting a ballot in an election while located outside the country where the election is held.
Most democracies allow citizens living or traveling overseas to vote by mail, at embassies, or through online systems: She's been voting abroad since she moved to Berlin.
The process typically requires advance registration and planning around international mail times.
