Republicans Overseas (RO) is a political organization created in 2013 for United States citizens who are living outside of the United States. RO is recognized by the Republican National Committee (RNC), and by other affiliated groups, such as College Republicans. It operates in the majority of countries around the world where there are large numbers of United States citizen residents. Similar to political action committees (PAC) and Super Pacs; RO is a 527 political organization that operates as a corporation with specific interests[2] of repealing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and of generally representing Republicans living overseas.
The Republican Party does not organize a specific presidential primary for Republicans living overseas, so Republicans Overseas does not send any delegates to the Republican National Convention. This is in contrast to the Democrats Abroad, which runs the Democrats Abroad presidential primary.[3]

The Republican Party doesn't give its overseas members a specific primary vote, although they can lodge absentee ballots for their home states. "I've seen some chatter from our members, but I haven't seen any strong opinions [on a Republicans Overseas primary]," Republicans Overseas Hong Kong secretary Tariq Dennison said.
