Voting Rights and Eligibility. Voting abroad EU citizens may exercise their right to vote and to stand as a candidate either in the EU country of residence or in their home country (Act: Council Directive 93/109/EC of 6 December 1993). It is ultimately a matter for each EU country to determine which persons are its nationals. No one may vote more than once or stand as a candidate in more than one EU country. To prevent double voting and double candidacy, EU countries must exchange information on citizens registered to vote or to stand as a candidate.
