Title: Re: Catalan independence - voting rights Post by Nigel on Sep 23rd, 2014 at 6:23pm
I have now had an update on the rights to vote which has now given foreigners the right to vote:
The law was passed on friday and gives the following voting rights: a) persons over sixteen who are registered in Catalunya, including Catalans living abroad. The latter will only apply if they previously register in the registry created for this purpose. b) persons over sixteen - members of the European Union registered in the Population Register of Catalonia (empadronado) and having been registerd continually for one year immediately preceding the announcement of the referendum. c) persons over sixteen of other countriess registered in the Population Register of Catalonia (empadronado) and having been registerd continually for three years immediately preceding the announcement of the referendum. I guess the majority of us fall into b and a few into c. So get canvassing and PLEASE tell your friends that, if they are registered here, that they will have the right to vote in any referéndum that Sr. Mas decides to hold. Nigel |
