EXPAT PARTY PRIMARY ONLINE

Expatriate Democratic party members will be able to cast votes in an online presidential primary targeted for people living outside the US, according to the Great Lakes IT Report for Jan. 22. The online tech newsletter reports that their global presidential preference primary will be conducted from Feb 5 - 12 by Internet polling as well as fax, email and in-person voting. While this primary is a party-run activity, the organizers hope to ease some of the difficulties associated with foreign mail exchange and overseas voting complications that are seen in US elections as well.
