US Democratic Party to Hold Global Primary in the UK
Democrats Abroad, the official arm of the US Democratic Party for Americans living outside the US, will hold its Global Primary at 5 sites in the UK.
The Global Primary gives members of Democrats Abroad UK the opportunity to vote for a presidential candidate to represent the Democratic Party in this autumn's election. Voters will also select delegates to represent Democrats Abroad at the party's convention in Charlotte, North Carolina from September 3-6, 2012 .
This is the only opportunity American citizens have to physically participate in the US election outside the country and its territories. The Republican Party does not hold a primary for its global members. And in the general election, all Americans living abroad must vote by absentee ballot.
Rob Carolina , Chair of Democrats Abroad UK, said, "
