EU citizenship gives every EU citizen the right to vote and stand as candidate in municipal and European Parliament elections regardless of whether or not they are a national of the EU country in which they reside, and this under the same conditions as nationals. Despite large scale information campaigns, registration remains disappointingly low, around 13,7% of the electorate.

This low voter turnout does not correlate with the enormous impact local government has on the daily lives of citizens.

Representing nearly 25% of all voters, Brussels is home to one of the largest expat communities.

Be aware that as an expat you aren’t without political power.

Your participation in the local elections of 14 October 2018 could prove significant, even decisive in the ballot.
