EU Accession to the ECHR Requires Ensuring the Franchise for EU Citizens in National ElectionsAs rapporteur of the European Parliament on electoral reform, I strongly support the launching of this ECI, and will sign it. Wider legal and political action will surely be necessary at the EU level. And changes to both the primary and secondary law of the EU cannot be obstructed forever.

One Cannot Promote Free Movement of EU Citizens and Restrict Their Political ParticipationThe EU legal norms should reflect social practices and EU citizens’ lived encounters. National electoral participation should therefore be made available to all those EU citizens who are emmeshed in the member states of their residence and have been sharing their burdens without complaint for so many years.

Incremental Changes Are not Enough – Voting Rights Are a Matter of Democratic PrincipleThe right to vote is so fundamental to democracy that any arguments reflecting the difficulties of putting it into effect pale into insignificance. An incremental approach to European citizenship can work, for example in the area of social rights and entitlements, but it is more questionable in the area of political rights.

Mobile Union Citizens Should Have Portable Voting Rights Within the EUWhen it comes to the problem of disenfranchisement of mobile EU citizens, naturalisation solves too little too late. Because of the specificity of the situation of EU citizens, alternative ways of political inclusion are preferable to naturalisation. I propose an argument for portable political rights for mobile EU citizens.

Concluding Remarks: Righting Democratic WrongsThe different cases made in this debate for or against our ECI have only strengthened our resolve. There is broad consensus that the current situation is untenable. Let us do all we can to right democratic wrongs and endow European citizens with voting rights wherever they choose to reside in the EU.
