While voting rights advocates, and, certainly, political parties are doing all they can to get the vote out in today’s midterm elections, the rest of the world would also like to remind Americans that the people vote into office can have global impacts.

From Canada to Australia, folks are taking to Twitter to encourage Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Canadians, who have been dealing with President Donald Trump’s tariffs, are keeping an eye on the happenings south of their border:

It’s #VotingDay for our American neighbours to the south and I have just one thing to say… pic.twitter.com/0CoHHyVuJ0 — Red Dan (@RedDan85_) November 6, 2018


Dear USA Brothers and Sisters: #VoteTuesday, if it's just out of spite! Vote against all the arseholes who are racist, sexist, homophobic, poor-hating

billionaires-pretending-to-be-one-of-you! Vote, vote, vote! — TheMarth (NiCaComic) (@TheMarthaChaves) November 6, 2018

Some Canadians are having a bit of fun (amid all the worry):

Don't forget: Canadians living 100 miles from the US border can cast 1/2 a vote in all American elections. — Shawn Micallef (@shawnmicallef) November 5, 2018

Our neighbors to the South also had something to say (the balloon below says “fear”):

The English, going through their own Brexit nightmare, are also nervously eyeing our midterms from across the pond:

Dear America,

Given the choice between more fascism, racism, misogyny, corruption, lies, scapegoating of minorities, concentration camps and hatred versus less of all that, please vote for less. Thank you.

Yours nervously,

The rest of the world.#midterms — David Schneider (@davidschneider) November 5, 2018

The Spanish-tweeting man (based in England) linked the midterms to the U.S.-backed role Saudi Arabia is playing in Yemen’s civil war:

Some are just scared of the choices Americans might make. Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss showed little faith in our system here:

Can't wait to see how you balls this right up, America. #Midterms2018 — Daniel Sloss (@Daniel_Sloss) November 6, 2018

Australians seem especially worried that we might, um, drop the ball:

Don't fuck this up, #USA. You have the privilege of voting for all of us. Please use it wisely. — Adam Schembri 🏳️‍🌈 (@AdamCSchembri) November 6, 2018

Dear US friends. At every level from school board to Senate, let’s do this. #vote https://t.co/XrHCKTMJyr — Paul Wiggins (@paulwiggins) November 6, 2018

Dear #America,. Don't fuck this up. We're counting on you to politically castrate the Orange-Haired Gibbon and deny the influence of the far right. Get out there and #VoteBlue. Sincerely,

The Rest Of The World #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica — ScottyFreak (@ScottyFreak) November 5, 2018

Some Iranians marveled at historically low voter turnouts:

انتخابات میان دوره ای فقط ۴۰ درصد!

شاید جریان اصلاحات نداشته باشن اما قطعا باند بازی جناحی خودشون رو دارن pic.twitter.com/Okeq15tsqV — امیرفراز (@Haq_jo0o) November 6, 2018

Translation: Only 40% turnout in midterm elections! They might not have any reforms in the works, but they sure have racket going.

If you are among the people stressing out about how these midterms will turn out, this Iranian tweeter feels your pain:

فکر کنم من استرس ام از نتیجه انتخابات میان دوره ای کنگره بیشتر از خود آمریکاییها باشه. — ameneh mousavi (@MousaviSa) November 6, 2018

Translation: I think I’m more stressed out about these midterm elections than Americans themselves.

In Europe, there was concern that the United States is going in the wrong direction.

A diversity advocate from Catania, in southern Italy (near ports where many ships carrying migrants and refugees land), hoped for the best:

From Spain, a message with a sense of urgency:

Here’s an architect from Denmark retweeting a message to Americans from Germany, issuing what appears to be a stark warning on the dangers of authoritarianism under the rather pointed #beentheredonethat hashtag:

A progressive tweeter from Germany hopes to encourage Democratic voters:

Others, such as a former Irish diplomat, resorted to prayer:

Well it’s time. Sitting on the hospital bed, about to head down for surgery. Praying to all the Gods once more, for a successful operation. All I ask is that when I wake, #Brexit or the #MidTerm elections are solved. Or both. You have four hours world…Go! pic.twitter.com/Zr4FYHrPEH — Dr. Jennifer Cassidy (@OxfordDiplomat) November 6, 2018

Can't wait to see how you balls this right up, America. #Midterms2018 — Daniel Sloss (@Daniel_Sloss) November 6, 2018

Even Russian operatives — we can’t figure out what else to call this tweeter — seem nervous:

#US Mid-terms To even mention these as an outsider is to encourage accusations of electoral influence… however: Hopefully enough decent, progressive-minded US residents have seen through the obvious lies & rhetoric of Trump by this stage along w/ many who were never liberals. pic.twitter.com/krD9K7TwME — Russian Platform (@RussiaConnects) November 6, 2018

Make of that what you will.
