Talk:Non-citizen suffrage

message: Would it not be wise to update the 2004 overview. Belgium is now mentioned in the category: 0, no rights, altough we can read a little further that Belgium allowed foreigners to vote in local elections since 2006  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.22.122.79 (talk) 10:26, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Overlinking

message: Moved from User talk:Wtmitchell:
Hahaha. That's one of my all-too-frequent typos which slipped by my lousy proofreading. I meant supranational, describing the European Union, not supernatural. I made several typos in that edit, now corrected. I must have been a real rush. Yes, the final sentence in the paragraph is a mess -- the article needs a rewrite.  I don't have the time to spend on doing a first-cut rewrite right now. -- Boracay Bill 01:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Italy isn't listed. I thought the Italian parliament had a seat for Italian's living overseas. Perhaps this isn't exactly foreigners voting. ? 203.206.71.132 15:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Italy 

message: I have rewritten this article.  I didn't start out intending to do a rewrite -- my initial objective was to add sufficient source citations to justify removal of the  tag.  As I added cites, though, I also added information.  Eventually, the added information overwhelmed the info previously present.  At some point, I reorganized the country list into EU and non-EU sections, each ordered alphabetically.  Most of the info previously present in the article is still present, though it has been rearranged. In a couple of cases I found no citeable source supporting assertions already present in the article, and I marked those cases with s.  I think my changes have improved the article.  Hopefully, others will agree.  Please correct as needed any errors I've made and not noticed. -- Boracay Bill 05:52, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: I'm not a native English speaker, but "Right of foreigners to vote" looks to me (French native speaker) like a litteral translation of the title of the French wikipedia article "Droit de vote des étrangers", which is the original base for this article. The other articles on related topics are Suffrage (to which Suffrage today, Sufferage, Limited suffrage, Census Suffrage, Voting rights, Voting right, Right to vote, The right to vote, Equal voting, Voter eligibility, Political franchise, Enfranchisement, Enfranchise, Electoral franchise are redirected), but also Voting rights in the United States, District of Columbia voting rights, Women's suffrage, Universal suffrage, but Maori voting rights in Australia, Voting rights of Australian Aboriginals, Voting rights in Puerto Rico, Compulsory voting, Voting rights in the United States...
Shouldn't it be renamed Voting rights of non-nationals (noncitizens is equivocal, as in some countries citien is not synonymous with national), or something like that ? A template like on the French wikipedia Modèle:Droit de vote would probably be useful too. --Pylambert (talk) 15:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  title 

message: My case is straightforward: I hereby propose the article be renamed to 'Foreign suffrage', which is a more appropriate and less unwieldy term than 'Right of foreigners to vote'. Ariedartin JECJY Talk 16:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Title 

message: It seems to me that this article has conflicting information on Lithuania. In the EU section it says "As a result of this debate, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Slovenia and Belgium extended the right to vote, in different manners, to all foreign residents", but there was no mentioning of non-EU citizens voting rights on the map, or in the "Lithuania section". I changed the latter, someone should change the map. From what I can see on the net (and hear from friends), non-EU citizens with permanent residency are allowed to vote in Lithuanian municipal elections.

thread_title:  Lithuania 

message: It goes from voting in a time before there was a nation and citizens to vote to a vague description of local elections without ever mentioning the word local to sometime around now (or is it 1968?). Also, there were 13 colonies so what are the 20 regional areas? A burrough in New Amsterdam? The territory of Virginia? WTF?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.189.109.215 (talk) 23:19, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I cannot find any reference in the article to the basic requirement of RESIDENCE in a country in order to be eligible to vote.
For example, I am a UK citizen by birth, and became a Canadian resident in 1973 at age 25 (and dual citizen in 1979).  However, I inherited my family home in Scotland on my mother's death in 2001 and have spent 2 months/year in residence every year since.
Some years ago I was unilaterally removed from the local electoral roll on the grounds that I was not "ordinarily" resident in the constituency, and my sole UK residence had been deemed a 'holiday home'. This in spite of my being 'in residence' on the date of the annual enumeration. Ianwprice (talk) 01:19, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A few other comments on this talk page also discuss the impact of place of residence on voting rights. The topic of this article, however, is in regard to the impact of lack of citizenship (not place of residence) on voting rights. See Disfranchisement#By place of residence and ethnicity. Incidentally, re this off-topic area and the U.S., see Voting rights in the United States#Overseas and nonresident citizens. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

text: A little googling for specifics about the UK turned up and this current web page this somewhat dated page (archived in 2008) which may or may not still be correct. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:25, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

message: 1. The text states that local voting rights were extend to non-citizens in Lithuania in 2002 (see here)),  but there is no mention al all of Estonia. Both ar EU countries. The map has Estonia colored light red and Lithuania blueish. The color of Lithuania should be changed to light read. As long as there is no information about Estonia its color shoud also be changed.
2. Croatia became an EU member in 2013 but is colored grey as if itwere outside the European Union.
