3. Vote in both State/local and Global primary. If you select this option, you may vote in the Democrats Abroad Global Presidential Primary, and vote in your state/local primary, but only for down ballot races other than President.

Make sure you are both registered with Democrats Abroad, and that you send in a FPCA (Federal Post Card Application) form to your local election office at votefromabroad.org. (Note: some states do not allow you to vote in local elections if you do not 'intend on returning.')
If you would like to vote in the 2020 November Elections, make sure you do step 1 or step 3, after January 1, 2020. The FPCA form is only valid for the calendar year in which it is submitted.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Best,
Jeffrey

Thank you Jeffrey, whoever yoiu are for the solid information. #YangGang you have a choice to vote with your state or DA. DA is more convenient and supports issues of Americans Abroad, but your state has more delegates up for grabs.
