Yeah I wish that within the EU we could just vote for the country we live in rather than the one we were born in. It would make so much more sense.



You can, in the communnal (local) elections.

For the parliamentary, it is here for a reason. To prevent voting touristic. The delay of several years -- you have to live several years in the other country -- serves exactly that.


But there is no delay, even if I've been in Spain for 10 years I still can't vote for the parliament there.

I know about the local ones but it's not that important IMO.

I could go to the trouble of obtaining Spanish citizenship after 10 years but it is incredibly difficult and long.

I understand the problem of touristic voting but then they should let me vote here after 3 years or so.

Right now I can only vote for the Dutch government which I have nothing to do with in my life (and which is an extreme-right regime since the last election anyway)
