Interesting. In many countries in Europe you can vote at local elections even without being a citizen. I vote in local Germany election although I am a Swedish citizen becauseI have several years of residency in Germany. As a citizen of a EU country I could also vote in France by simply going the town hall and declare my residency in my little village. Then I could not vote in Germany, unless I had double residence. I have not been allowed to vote in Sweden for decades due to non-residency. Are you allowed to vote in Switzerland?
