Republicans Abroad
"In 1975, overseas civilians were included in the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), still in effect today. The Act gave them the right to vote in federal elections by casting their absentee ballots in the state where they last resided or voted in the United States. Since its establishment in 1978, RA has become a worldwide organization, with over 50 chapters.
"The primary mission of Republicans Abroad is to integrate Americans, especially those who adhere to the principles of the Republican Party, into the election process. Republicans Abroad strives to reach the estimated 4-6 million voters overseas."[1]
