Last week, the Riigikogu voted to strip almost all foreign citizens living in Estonia of their voting rights in local elections. ERR News spoke to several about how they view the decision.
Wait is this the case with other countries in EU? If I will be resident of France can I vote for local elections without French passport? Or in Spain without Spanish passport??
If you come from elsewhere in the EU, yes, you can always vote in local elections and european parliament elections where you live. If you’re from elsewhere, it depends on local law.
Don’t know if it’s true for all EU countries but it’s very common I think, although “local” elections meaning municipal elections, not the “local” federal elections.
