Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – U.S. citizens living abroad retain a fundamental right central to American democracy: the right to vote. This privilege is not just a duty but a vital element in upholding democratic principles and ensuring that a diversity of voices is represented. By registering to vote, you contribute to the strength and inclusiveness of the nation.
However, many U.S. citizens residing in Mexico remain unaware of their voting rights, resulting in missed opportunities to participate in the electoral process. To bridge this gap, Vote From Abroad offers a non-partisan online platform designed to help citizens utilize the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) for voter registration and ballot requests, as mandated by Federal law.
For U.S. citizens in the Banderas Bay area, the Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad Mexico (DACB) is stepping in to provide personalized assistance. Trained volunteers will be available every Wednesday in October to answer your questions and guide you through filing your FPCA (registration/ballot request).
In Puerto Vallarta, voter registration assistance is available each Wednesday in October from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Let’s Pho PV Vietnamese Kitchen, located at Lázaro Cárdenas 179, Zona Romántica, Emiliano Zapata, Puerto Vallarta.
For residents of Bahía de Banderas, voter assistance will be available each Wednesday in October from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Restaurant Bar Miguel Ángel, situated on the Bucerías Plaza across from the Bucerías Letters.
Don’t miss out on your chance to make your voice heard – request your ballot TODAY! While it’s ideal to file your ballot request at the start of each calendar year, it’s not too late to get involved. The consequences of this election year may reverberate for many decades. Your vote is extremely important, so register TODAY!
Whether you plan to RSVP or simply show up, the DACB volunteers are ready to help. Stay informed about future events and updates by following the Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad Mexico on Facebook.
