- Promote and empower EU mobile citizens in voting age to use their voting rights
This Course comprises of 2 Modules:
EU citizenship gives the right to EU mobile citizens to “vote and to stand in elections to the European Parliament and municipal elections in their Member State of residence, under the same conditions as nationals of that State”.
In this module, we are going to speak about the rights of EU mobile citizens to participate in municipal elections.
Who are these EU mobile citizens? What does the right mean in practice?
