Democrats Abroad is considered a "state" Party by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and is represented on the DNC by eight voting members, as well as with 22 voting delegates at the quadrennial Democratic National Convention. We will be organizing non-partisan voter registration events up until September 2008, ensuring that Americans can participate in the US elections.
