Democrats Abroad Luxembourg on Luxembourg city's Grand Rue;

On Sunday 6 May 2018, Democrats Abroad Luxembourg organised a stand on Luxembourg's Grand Rue to help Americans in Luxembourg request their ballots to vote in this November's elections, on Luxembourg-ville's Grand Rue.

According to Democrats Abroad Luxembourg, all Americans are welcome to request their ballot to vote in the November elections at the US Voter Pavilion on the Grand Rue on Sunday. Volunteers were able to help with questions about eligibility to vote, obtaining an absentee ballot and other issues related to participating in the American political process - Americans can request their ballot at any time using the online tool www.VoteFromAbroad.org.

Expatriate Americans living in Luxembourg will have an opportunity to ensure that their votes count in “midterm” 2018 elections by requesting their absentee ballots. Midterm elections will determine the composition of federal Congress of the United States of America, as well as a variety of lower-level offices.

Democrats Abroad Luxembourg, the official arm of the Democratic Party of the United States in Luxembourg, will provide the service from a covered pavilion at the junction of the Grand Rue and Rue des Capuchins.

Unlike many European nationals, Americans living abroad must request their absentee ballots for each election cycle, making the work of Democrats Abroad in 2018 particularly important.

Talking with Chronicle.lu, Will Bakker, Democrats Abroad Country Chair for Luxembourg, said "We had 12 enquiries from Americans, along with dozens from residents of Luxembourg interested in the midterm elections. Several Americans completed the form on the spot using our votefromabroad.org tool and they will receive their ballots to vote in November."
