HOW DO ASTRONAUTS VOTE FROM SPACE?

For those astronauts that are living aboard the International Space Station, they are allowed to cast their ballot via absentee ballot. If they are not living in the ISS, and are say just orbiting the Earth, Texas law allows them to cast their vote in federal elections electronically. This has been the case since 1997.

Ballots are sent via secure email to the Johnson Spaceflight Center and then passed on to the astronauts’ home counties in Texas.
