Election of Italy\u2019s representatives to the European Parliament<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

Pursuant to Decree-Law No. 408 of June 24, 1994, the following citizens may vote abroad for the election of Italian representatives to the European Parliament:<\/p>\n

\u2013 the Italian citizens living in a European Union Member State and duly registered with AIRE;<\/p>\n

\u2013 the Italian citizens and their family members living with them, who are temporarily in EU Member States for study or work reasons, by submitting \u2013 by the deadlines set by law \u2013 a specific application to the Mayor of the Italian Municipality in the electoral rolls of which they are registered.<\/p>\n

The right to vote abroad for Italian candidates is exercised at polling stations set up for this purpose by Consular Offices. Voters receive at home from the Italian Interior Ministry a polling card indicating the polling station at which to vote and the polling date and time.<\/p>\n

If voters do not receive the polling card by the 5th day before the polling day, they may contact the competent Consular Office to check their electoral status and request a duplicate or replacement certificate for being authorized to vote.<\/p>\n

If Italian voters living abroad or staying temporarily in a EU Member State for study or work reasons (who have submitted an application to vote abroad by the prescribed deadline) return to Italy, they may vote in their own Municipality of electoral registration: in this case they shall submit an explicit request to the Mayor of that Municipality within the day preceding the polling day.<\/p>\n

Italian voters living abroad may also opt to vote for candidates from the country in which they live; in this case they will vote at the polling stations set up by the authorities of the country of residence abroad.<\/p>\n

Double voting is prohibited: if you vote for an Italian candidate, you cannot vote also for the local candidate and vice versa.<\/p>\n

Are you an Italian citizen living in a country that is not a European Union Member State?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Italian citizens living in countries that are not European Union Member States may vote for Italian candidates to the European Parliament at the Municipality of electoral registration in Italy. To this end, they will receive a special notification card from the above mentioned Municipality by the 20th day following the day of publication of the decree calling the elections.<\/p>\n
