A Conversation with Democrats Abroad’s Candice Kerestan and William Chapman – Atencion San Miguel | English Version

By Carola Rico

Atención recently received an invitation from Hope Bradberry, chair of the San Miguel de Allende Chapter of Democrats Abroad, to meet with Candice Kerestan, Democrats Abroad international president, and William Chapman, chair of Democrats Abroad Mexico. Democrats Abroad is a global organization that helps U.S. citizens living anywhere in the world, including Mexico, cast their votes during federal, state, and local elections. Kerestan and Chapman spoke about the importance of exercising this voting right even while living abroad. Approximately 1.5 million U.S. citizens reside in Mexico, and all U.S. citizens in Mexico are eligible to cast an overseas absentee ballot.

The annual general meeting of Democrats Abroad Mexico took place in Guadalajara, Jalisco, on March 11-13.
