Undergraduate Study Abroad

Voting While You're Studying Abroad (U.S. citizens)

Brown encourages students to stay civically engaged while abroad. If you are a U.S. citizen, you carry your right to vote with you, even while studying abroad.

U.S. citizens can vote in U.S. elections while studying abroad. The U.S. embassy and website for your host country will provide voting abroad resources. In some countries, you can fill out your ballot online. 

Determine if you are registered to vote, and in which state. Your state of residence can be either your home state or your college state, but you can only register to vote in one state. Look up deadlines for ballots, for requesting absentee ballots, and when elections will be held at the local, state and federal election level in your state of residence.

 

Brown Votes is a nonpartisan, University-wide, collective impact initiative committed to fostering democratic participation across campus and beyond.
