A foreigner working in the USA doesn't get to vote for the laws they live under. That's what I'm trying to communicate.

- ahomescu1 12y agoDoes a foreigner working in Switzerland get to vote in any election? It's my impression that all countries restrict voting to their own citizens.
- c_plus_minus 12y agoI'm sure the Swiss do, but just an aside that plenty of EU countries allow members from other countries to vote in their elections. E.g. here in Ireland I think we only restrict constitutional referenda to Irish citizens.
- ahomescu1 12y agoIt seems it does vary heavily by country [1]. My country (Romania) does not give any voting rights to foreigners (AFAIK), and I thought the US didn't either. 1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_foreigners_to_vote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_foreigners_to_vote
