Dear {name},

This November, your study abroad students from the United States will have a unique opportunity: voting in the 2018 US Midterm Elections, while living abroad. For many, it will be their first time voting and we want to help them feel comfortable and confident registering to vote and submitting their ballot.

VotefromAbroad.org offers non-partisan voter registration and ballot request, so you can easily provide your students the unique experience of voting abroad in this year’s elections. The midterms are November 6th and ballots are sent out about 40 days before the election, so fall orientation is the prime time for students to register to vote.

How it works:

• We provide posters (ready to print), sample emails, and sample Facebook posts to help you communicate the action to your students.

• We are a resource for you and your students. We can answer questions and provide information related to voting in the midterms from abroad.

• We work with you to organize an a time to meet with students. We bring all the necessary materials. Non-partisan volunteers will help with questions students have about the process of registering and voting from abroad.

One of the great advantages of Study Abroad is that students develop a new appreciation of American democracy, and why their right to vote is fundamental to that enterprise. We want to make sure their right to vote is not lost in the exciting and overwhelming transition to life abroad.

Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you. Again, we want to be very clear that as this is voter registration it must be non-partisan.

Thanks a lot for considering working with us. Any questions, please let me know!
