    At the 2021 local election, 61,224 non-Estonians voted which is 10.47 percent of all ballots cast. In total, 584,902 people submitted a ballot. The top five highest numbers of votes cast by nationality were Russians (29,959)

    Fair enough

    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.
