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.
Same as what the others said: in France, non-French EU citizens can vote for EU parliament and municipal elections (electing a mayor). However, you need French citizenship in order to vote for your parliamentary representative (which could be misunderstood as “local” as it is on a district level), and for presidential elections.
I’m actually curious to know why local elections specifically, if it’s an EU directive or just “common” ?
