NASA astronauts on the International Space Station have voted in U.S. elections throughout the agency's history.

While active astronauts can vote from space, there are still restrictions on the types of political activities that they and other NASA employees are allowed to engage in.

The Hatch Act prohibits employees such as astronauts from engaging in political activity while on duty, on government property, while "wearing a uniform".
