Few voters are as easily overlooked as Americans living outside the United States. This population–of émigres, military personnel, dual citizens, and people born outside the U.

The end may not be near, but the end is clear—according to those who have kept a close eye on Myanmar’s ongoing civil war, since a military coup toppled its civilian government in 2021. While the fighting between the junta and armed resistance groups was locked in a stalemate for the first two years of the conflict, observers note that the third year has seen the military on the back foot.
