Yes. Any American citizen living abroad, who is eligible to vote, can cast their vote through an absentee ballot. It's estimated that over 6 million Americans live abroad. About 3.2 million are private citizens. (Non military, not employed by State or Gov't agencies) Both parties are heavily targeting Americans living abroad in their campaigns, partly because of the voting issues with the last election.
Each state has their own rules, regulations, and tax requirements for Americans living abroad who wish to vote on State issues. This election is Federal, so the individual State requirements do not apply.
