The Democratic National Committee is investing $ 300,000 to reach voters outside the country — military and non-military.

The party estimates that 1.6 million Americans abroad are from crucial battleground states this cycle.

Non-military American voters who live outside the U.S. include those out of the country for business, students spending a semester abroad and "digital nomads".

Low turnout for U.S. citizens abroad is mainly because "people abroad don't know they can vote" The right for overseas ballots to be counted by every state is protected under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act ( UOCAVA ), passed in 1967 .
