ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project?

Members who cannot vote at a Voting Center may vote absentee by requesting a ballot now or by April 30 at vote2012@democratsabroad.org.  Drop us a note today and say “send me an absentee ballot.”  You can return your ballot by email, mail or fax.


GLOBAL PRIMARY BALLOT
Our worldwide election results will determine our Presidential nominee and the election of 17 delegates who will attend the Democratic National Convention.  One hundred forty seven (147) candidates are contesting for the 17 elected positions to go to the Convention which will be held next September 3-7 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Delegates will be elected at a combination of the May 1-6 Voting Center elections and the May 18-20 Global Convention to be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  Our delegation to Charlotte also includes 8 additional Democratic National Committee members. These election meetings will also provide an opportunity for Americans abroad to shape the party's election platform.
