Yeah I wish that within the EU we could just vote for the country we live in rather than the one we were born in. It would make so much more sense.

- vetinari 2y agoYou can, in the communnal (local) elections. For the parliamentary, it is here for a reason. To prevent voting touristic. The delay of several years -- you have to live several years in the other country -- serves exactly that.
- wkat4242 2y agoBut there is no delay, even if I've been in Spain for 10 years I still can't vote for the parliament there. I know about the local ones but it's not that important IMO. I could go to the trouble of obtaining Spanish citizenship after 10 years but it is incredibly difficult and long. I understand the problem of touristic voting but then they should let me vote here after 3 years or so. Right now I can only vote for the Dutch government which I have nothing to do with in my life (and which is an extreme-right regime since the last election anyway)
