Sitting in Space, This is How Astronauts Will Vote in US Presidential Elections 2020
News 18No, astronauts don’t have to queue up to vote. NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, who is currently in the preparation of departing the planet with two cosmonauts for 6-month-stay at the International Space Station starting mid-October, recently told The Associated Press that she will not let her vote go in vain as she thinks it’s “critical” to participate in the democracy, adding that she considered it an honour to vote from space. Most astronauts live in the Houston area, home to NASA’s mission control and Johnson Space Center. “The Harris County Clerk’s Office uploads a secure electronic ballot to NASA’s Johnson Space Center Mission Control Center. NASA astronauts, using specific credentials, access their ballot and cast their vote, which is delivered back to the county clerk’s office by email,” NASA informed CNN.
