You can cast your vote all the way from overseas, and your ballot will still be counted.   John Cabot University has united forces with Vote From Abroad, a non-partisan platform that helps US citizens vote from abroad by producing the necessary Federal forms.   Ahead of all major US elections, [Vote From Abroad](https://www.votefromabroad.org) comes to campus to provide JCU students, staff and faculty the help they need to register to vote from abroad. It’s simple: they guide you through the process of filling out and sending in the federal form needed to request your overseas ballot every year. Their Voter Helpdesk provides in depth and personal support to US citizens abroad with requesting, receiving, and returning their ballots to vote in US elections.    ![VFA branding FB2 (1)](https://blog.johncabot.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/VFA%20branding%20FB2%20(1).png?width=763&height=335&name=VFA%20branding%20FB2%20(1).png) *Vote From Abroad helps the JCU community to cast their vote from overseas.*   This year, Vote From Abroad will have a Voter Registration Drive for the JCU community located in Frohring Campus on Monday, September 11 and Tuesday, September 12, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

You can register to vote on your own by visiting the [**https://www.votefromabroad.org/**](https://www.votefromabroad.org/) website and following the step-by-step instructions to request your overseas ballot.     ![A4 Vote From Abroad 2023](https://blog.johncabot.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/A4%20Vote%20From%20Abroad%202023.jpg?width=440&height=622&name=A4%20Vote%20From%20Abroad%202023.jpg) *Learn how you can register to vote from abroad while you study at JCU.*   ##### **Volunteer For Vote From Abroad On Campus**  This year, Vote From Abroad is also recruiting student volunteers to support them in the Voter Registration Drive.
