EU Citizen Voting Rights (UPDATE) | 107 comments (107 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

A 2006 study by the French Senate lists Germany, the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium as generating electoral rolls automatically from other sources. (They don't seem to have included Sweden.)

Re: Sweden (none / 0)

Actually, they examine all of those countries, but find differences. First registration and revision (e.g. when moving) is not automatic in Portugal and the UK. However, in Portugal, registration is obligatory.

Re: Sweden (none / 0)

In Belgium too, because there is an obligatory list of residents, and it's obligatory to vote.
