Wait, is this really the whole story? I know a couple of US ”expat” citizens living here in Europe (having dual citizenships) and they can still remote vote in their US home-state
I don’t know how expat works with state and local elections, but federal elections should still be allowed because as longer as you are a citizen, you are still affected by the laws and taxes are still due every year.
It seems like this is one of the few things the EU should adopt from the US.
We have US citizenship, but state issued birth certificate, and our (super flawed) social security numbers are state based too.
But residency determines which state elections we vote in and that’s defined as where you get your mail and spend the most time.
You only get one primary residence and that’s where you’re allowed to vote.
