Democrats Abroad Luxembourg, the official arm of the Democratic Party outside the United States, today launched its campaign to help Americans citizens living abroad to nominate the U.S. Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee.
Any Democrat living abroad can take part in the Global Presidential Primary by joining Democrats Abroad via www.DemocratsAbroad.org and then casting a ballot in order to help determine which Presidential candidates will be awarded delegates in the Democratic Party’s nominating process.
There are three opportunities for Americans in Luxembourg to vote in the Global Presidential Primary:
- On 1 March, Democrats can vote in person at the dedicated Global Presidential Primary voting site at Salle Victor Hugo (60 ave Victor Hugo, Limpertsberg) from noon to 21:00
- On 8 March, Democrats can vote in person at the dedicated Global Presidential Primary voting site at Bosso Brasserie (7 Bisserweg, Grund) from 18:00 to 22:00.
• From now until 8 March, Democrats who are unable to attend a voting site can vote remotely via postal ballot, email attachment, or fax (details at www.DemocratsAbroad.org).
After 8 March, the votes of Democrats living in over 190 countries worldwide will be counted. Any candidate receiving 15% or more of the primary votes cast will be awarded delegates in proportion to their support in the Global Presidential Primary.
Democrats Abroad will have 17 delegate votes at the Democratic National Convention, held in Philadelphia on 25-28 July 2016.
Will Bakker, Chair of Democrats Abroad Luxembourg, said, "In less than three weeks, Democrats in Luxembourg will vote to help the Democratic Party select a Presidential candidate that will represent the best hopes and ideals of our country. With the launch of the Global Presidential Primary, Democrats Abroad Luxembourg gives all eligible U.S. citizens in Luxembourg an opportunity to vote where they live and be part of a decision that will have a global impact.”
