Guatemalan voter registration among its citizens residing in the United States is increasing, yet participation in elections remains notably low. The upcoming 2027 elections will mark the third time Guatemala has offered voting opportunities abroad. Despite a growing diaspora, Guatemalans in the US have historically demonstrated limited engagement in the electoral process. Officials are seeking to understand the barriers preventing higher turnout. Factors may include logistical challenges, lack of awareness, or feelings of disconnection from Guatemalan politics. Increasing participation is considered vital for representing the views of Guatemalans living outside the country. Further efforts will be required to boost voter turnout in future elections.
