Come make your mark on the future of our common homeland, the US! If you are a US citizen/national who qualifies to vote in US elections from outside the US, learn how to confirm your absentee voting registration and on how to submit your completed ballot.*
There will also be time to have a friendly, informal chat about US politics.
While the congressional midterm elections are the most prominent US elections coming up, there are also numerous US state/territorial and local elections coming up this year that you may qualify to vote in, making your addition to the small percentage of US citizens/nationals outside the US who vote in US elections even more central towards strengthening American civic culture.
Whether you came to our Welcome Social/Mid-Autumn Festival Social Dinner or are making this the first time you meet our welcoming UCL American Society, join us in this characteristically American experience.
*While we aim to provide relevant and accurate information, please note that procedures inherently vary between different US states/territories (and between different counties/parishes within them), as voter registration in the US is primarily handled at the local and US state/territorial levels. The advice presented is not intended as "legal advice" of the type that would be provided by a qualified legal professional in the US and/or UK.
Please obtain a taster (free) or Standard (subject to membership fee) prior to attempting to get this free event ticket. If you encounter any issues in doing so, please email us for troubleshooting.
Wheelchair accessibility characteristics are dependent on the exact venue on-campus at UCL, which is not confirmed yet (as of time of writing).
In general, US citizens/nationals intending to vote in US elections from outside the US need to be at least 18 years of age; however, some US states/territories allow eligible US citizens/nationals to file their voter registration a certain amount of time in advance so that their voter registration will be effective as soon as they are eligible. (Not intended as "legal advice" in the US and/or UK)
As for the event itself, there are no age restrictions for our members (taster and Standard) to attend.
