NASA Astronauts Vote in US Midterm Elections From Space

Three American astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) voted in Tuesday’s US midterm elections, despite being hundreds of thousands of kilometres from Earth.

“Yes, you can vote from space! All three American crew members had the privilege of casting our votes from the space station,” astronaut Anil Menon wrote in a post on the social media platform X.

Menon, along with fellow astronauts Luke Delaney and Jessica Watkins, completed their ballots electronically and sent them in encrypted form to the relevant election authority.

NASA astronauts participating in space missions have had the right to vote in US elections since 1997.

The US midterm elections will determine the balance of power in Congress and the extent of President Donald Trump’s ability to pursue his political agenda during the remainder of his term in the White House.
