NASA Astronaut Will Vote From Space

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins is seen during Soyuz qualification exams on Wednesday at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center just outside Moscow. Rubins plans to cast her next vote from space – more than 200 miles above Earth.×

Astronauts have been able to cast ballots from above since the Texas legislature gave its blessing in 1997. “It’s critical to participate in our democracy,” NASA astronaut Kate Rubins said.
