Tuesday, last day to vote via the US Embassy’s free diplomatic mail
only useful if you vote in Florida, North Carolina, California, Colorado, Arizona or Wisconsin
Updating a Florida election law change:
From Florida’s official voting infomation website, at http://dos.myflorida.com/elections/for-voters/voting/military-and-overseas-citizens-voting/
What happened here was that the State of Florida changed its rules for overseas voters in July and the state-by-state online voting guides upon which The Panama News and Democrats Abroad relied didn’t catch the change. But now we did and you can vote tomorrow by sending your ballot through the American Embassy in Clayton before 3 p.m.
