Your Vote Can Count
Australia has just voted in a new Prime Minister, the US is gearing up to chose a new President in 2008, the UK has been dabbling with - but abandoned - the idea of elections that same year.
The right to decide
Many people living as expatriates still have a voice in their home country. To find out how to register and vote see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Pages on:
- Voting in the US Presidential Elections
- Voting in the UK General Elections
- Voting in the Australian Federal Elections
Or find out your rights from your Portugal-based Consulate; contact details are in the Consulates & Embassies category of The AngloFILE.
In addition to that, you may qualify to vote in elections in your adopted home. Any EU citizen resident in Portugal is entitled to vote in the Portuguese Municipal elections provided they have been entered on the electoral roll.
- Find out what this election means and how to register - it's easy - with the INFOrmation Page on Voting in Portugal, which explains the steps you need to follow.
EU citizens in Portugal may also vote in the European Parliamentary elections (next election, 2009) to elect their choice of Portuguese representatives in the European Parliament. The page Voting in Portugal explains how to register for this, too.
