[GlowingR]

Do those living in the UK but with an EU passport get to vote in the general elections on 12th december? EU citizen but been living in the UK for over a decade, with permanent residency, indefinite leave to remain, etc.

Gov website seems to be say yes we can vote, but a lot of other sources say no.

Anyone know for sure? Please state source

NewtonPulsifer, she could take citizenship and be allowed to vote.

It was her choice not to, right?

I am a British Citizen and have an EU passport and I get to vote. I am from NI and I can be both!

You might want to treble check that and keep an eye on it...

However, the British Home Office is now arguing through the courts that the people born in Northern Ireland are “automatically British” as they were “clearly born in the United Kingdom.”

I don't think it's unusual that EU citizens exercising their right to free movement while retaining their own citizenship can't vote in UK elections. Same in other EU countries I think. (Local yes, EU yes - but can only vote in one country)

So far EU citizen can only vote in local elections, that’s an EU loss so Brits in Germany can vote as well for this.

We got our citizenship this Spring and paid around £1800 each including all tests, fees and also fees for permanent residency plus fast track appointments.

Some countries don't allow dual citizenship. Why should she (if that's the case) give up the citizenship of her birth just in order to vote? (especially with the current brexit shite, she may be very glad she did not!)

She could Humans, but doesn’t wish to pay £1800 just for the advantage of voting. If the NHS goes the way she fears, she will be leaving anyway. She also is already a dual national and one of her countries will not allow a third nationality, she doesn’t wish to give that up as it is her deceased mum’s country and wants to retains links.

NewtonPulsifier, yes but those are her personal choices

She could get citizenship and vote, she chooses not to as other things are more important to her.

That is her choice

Does not mean the British system is wrong
