r/VoteDEM

Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

The elections never stop coming! We’re closing in on folks going to the voting booth on August 4th to weigh in on major ballot initiatives in Kansas and Missouri.

In Kansas, right-wingers are trying to pass a constitutional amendment to end a string of defeats for forced birthers and their other priorities at the state supreme court. They’re proposing ending their state’s highly-respected merit-based process for selecting judges and replacing it with partisan elections, making it easier for billionaire and corporate money from the Koch network to get justices in place who will stop protecting reproductive freedom, voting rights and public schools. ☎️ Kansas United for Impartial Courts are running phonebanks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7PM ET and Saturdays at 2PM ET all this month – let’s sign up to help protect our rights from this insidious ploy. ☎️

STOP ANOTHER COURT HIJACKING

Across the state line, Missouri Republicans tired of the people passing progressive priorities through direct democracy are trying to sabotage the process. With Amendment 4, citizen-initiated ballot initiatives would have to win a simple majority not just statewide, but in every one of the state’s now deeply-gerrymandered congressional districts. As few as 5% of voters could veto the will of the rest of the Show Me State, which would have in recent elections stopped voters from legalizing marijuana, raising the minimum wage, guaranteeing paid sick leave, expanding Medicaid, and revoking the state’s abortion ban. 🙋🏻 Let’s preserve the public’s power! We can take phonebank shifts on Thursday evenings here or get updated with more volunteer opportunities here. 🙋🏿‍♀️
