  • BBC Sounds Music Radio Podcasts.

  • Adam, Remote a voter has gone global.

  • Yeah, it's had a glow up.

  • For the American elections to become even bigger, we're doing Remote Voter usa.

  • And so just to remind newscasters, this is our, some might call it a gimmick where people involved in elections explain why they cannot vote in person.

  • We did it for the UK general election.

  • It was a sterling success.

  • We're now doing it for the American election and we split it into remote voters so people who are not that far away, remoter voters, people who are further away, and the remotest voters.

  • So here we go.

  • This is Remote Voter USA Sunday edition, right?

  • Our remote voter is Nancy in Wisconsin.

  • She says I'm registered as an overseas voter because London is my primary residence.

  • However, I may be the closest remoter voter because actually I'm currently living a two minute walk from the polling station in Wisconsin.

  • However, I'm required to put my overseas ballot in the post.

  • I'm not allowed to drop it off in person.

  • Love your podcast.

  • It always makes me smile.

  • From Nancy.

  • So Nancy lives in Wisconsin but is registered to vote in London, but is having to send her thing in the anyway.

  • Right.
