European Elections 2014: how to vote if you are living abroad



I'm sure you've all read the post about the coming European elections on the 22nd - 25th May. Some of you have asked how to vote if you are living abroad, and I realized I have the same question! Every time there is an election you have to get informed about when, where and how you get the proper documentation and until when you have time to send your vote.

You may already know that I love tables and structured information, so I've prepared a summary for the French and Spanish people living in Germany.

1. If you also live abroad and want to know more, you can find useful information here:

2. and these are the websites where you can find specific information about your country (you will probably have to contact them at some point):

http://www.botschaft-frankreich.de/
http://www.exteriores.gob.es/Portal/es/Paginas/inicio.aspx

3. Or you can decide to register in your city to vote where you live. For example, in Bremen we received a letter. If you live in Germany, are a european citizen and you want to vote there, you have to register before Mai 4th. The good thing in Germany is that you can vote with a letter.  So no worries if you have plans for this week-end. You will still be able to fulfil your citizen duty. No excuses.
I am doing it for the first time as well, so I will let you know how it goes.

We are now all registered to vote. The next step. Who are you going to vote for?
