Can a citizen of one EU country vote in local elections in another EU country?

r/

The title basically, but a few points to clarify:

  1. Let’s call them “EU Country A” and “EU Country B”
  2. A citizen of “EU Country A” doesn’t yet have a citizenship of “EU Country B”.
  3. They have decided to get a permanent residency in “EU Country B”.

What is the general track to be allowed to vote in “EU Country B” in this case?

    Yes, EU citizens have the right to participate in local elections and EU Parliament elections in other EU member states.

    They don’t have the right to participate in national elections or referenda.

    You need to have residency, you must vote in only one country in a given election, and you may need to register to vote, depending on local legislation.
