Home country elections

Every EU country has specific national rules on participating in elections from abroad, determining:

  • whether you can vote from abroad
  • whether you can stand as a candidate from abroad
  • which elections you can participate in from abroad: local, regional, national etc.
  • the conditions you need to fulfil

There are no EU rules on your rights to participate in your home country's elections if you live abroad.

To learn more you should get in touch with your home country's embassy or consulate.
