The sole American astronaut in space could end up voting for president from the International Space Station, according to The Associated Press.

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins was scheduled to return to Earth in late October, but the trip may be delayed for technical reasons.

Rubins, who lives in Houston, told the AP that her ballot lists her address as “low-Earth orbit.”

“It’s very incredible that we’re able to vote from here,” she said last week.

Texas legislators passed a bill in 1997 allowing astronauts to vote from space.

According to NASA, the astronauts receive a secure electronic ballot with credentials on how to access the ballot. When the ballot is completed, it is electronically sent back to NASA's Mission Control Center, then forwarded to a clerk's office to be counted.
