The Many Issues faced by Overseas Based British Citizens 

What we do

We promote the active and positive engagement of British Citizens who live overseas in the affairs of the UK and in how they are treated by the UK.

We Engage

We talk with British Overseas Voters to better understand the issues that affect them.

We Discuss

We then enter into dialogue with elected MPs and representatives of all major parties to get them to better represent overseas voters in their constituencies.

We Research

We have a number of policy committees related to each of our Key Issues, to propose working solutions to the problems faced by overseas voters.

We Campaign

Our campaigns are primarily to connect with British Overseas Voters who are not registered to vote or to raise awareness of the Key Issues which affect British citizens living overseas.

Policy Groups Solve The Issues

Policy Groups have been set up to develop sustainable policies that that not only solve the problems faced by overseas based British Citizens but are also sellable by UK politicians to the wider UK public.

We always welcome more overseas British citizens participating in these policy groups.

How You Can Get On Board

The British Overseas Voters Forum has a viable strategy for change which recognises that UK politicians will not support remedies for overseas based British citizens unless these citizens become voters and then campaign intelligently.
