Liberal Democrats Abroad

As an internationalist party the Liberal Democrats are proud to have many members and supporters living overseas.  Lib Dems Abroad is an organisation set up by the Party in 2010 which aims to:

   * help our members and supporters stay in touch with the Party in the UK
   * ensure that the Party understand the concerns of its members overseas
   * help to set up Lib Dems Abroad networks overseas and give them support
   * encourage our members and supporters to register to vote in the UK
   * encourage supporters to join the Party

At present we have three branches of Liberal Democrats Abroad. They are in Brussels, Hong Kong and Germany. We hope to announce more new branches soon.

The Patron of Liberal Democrats Abroad is Lord Ashdown.


Exactly who can vote?

British citizens who live overseas but were last on a UK electoral register within the last 15 years can vote in elections. If you are abroad but not on the electoral register, you'll need to contact the council for the area where you last lived in the UK.

People who were under the age of 18 when their parents moved abroad can also vote once they reach 18 - for up to 15 years from the time when their parents were last registered in the UK.

Forms for registering to vote can be downloaded here.

How do I join the Party?
