In UK election, voters in Afghanistan, Ghana and Bangladesh will also have a say
The Guardian

Thousands of people in Afghanistan, Ghana and Bangladesh will be voting in the UK general election under a unique project that enables Britons to donate their vote to foreigners in the developing world.
The initiative, Give Your Vote, will come to prominence on Thursday when the UK's televised leaders' debate on foreign policy is broadcast with subtitles to crowds in the capital cities Kabul, Accra and Dhaka.
Under the scheme foreigners are being offered the chance to use a ballot paper belonging to one of the growing number of UK-registered voters.
