Washington: Stranded on the International Space Station through February, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore plan to vote in the November 5 US presidential election from space.

“It’s a very important duty that we have as citizens and (I am) looking forward to being able to vote from space, which is pretty cool,” Williams, who is of Indian origin, said on a call with reporters on Friday afternoon.

Williams, 58, and Wilmore, 61, participated in a press conference on Friday from the International Space Station (ISS), which has been their home since June.
