"Of course, Nasa’s astronauts come from all over, so those wishing to vote as residents of their home states can work with their counties to make special arrangements to vote from space," Nasa said. As a part of an experiment, the county clerk, who manages elections in the astronaut’s home county, sends a test ballot to a team at Nasa’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Nasa explained.
