United States non-resident eligible voters

Absentee ballots for Americans at the Maritime Festival in Dublin

U.S. non-resident eligible voters during the midterm election in 2022 have been estimated at 2.8 million. However the absentee ballots received (cast votes) approximated to ninety-five thousand, the equivalent of 3.4% of non-resident voters.[1] The main reason for voters abroad not casting the ballot was difficulties with the voting process,[2] but also lack of connection with U.S. policy[3] and the risk of exposure to U.S. local taxation.[4]
