Conservatives Abroad has members and groups around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania.

Its purpose is to keep Conservative supporters who are temporarily or permanently living abroad in touch with domestic politics in the United Kingdom, to campaign for the votes of the overseas British community, and increase the number of overseas registered voters in those communities.

Conservatives Abroad also serves its members' interests by raising issues and concerns facing Britons living overseas with politicians,[1] and by lobbying to reform overseas voting laws.

Conservatives Abroad have led the 'Votes for Life' campaign to allow British citizens living around the world to maintain their right to vote in British General Elections and reverse restrictions brought in by the Labour Government in 2000.

As a result, this became a commitment in successive Conservative Party manifestos but its progress was blocked by the Liberal Democrats during the 2010-2015 Coalition Government.
