Can Immigrants Vote surrounded by UK, or do you hold to be a UK citizen?
I was wondering when and if immigrants can get the vote surrounded by UK.
If someone has come over here and is claiming asylum, for example, can they vote?
Or does someone have to be declared a British citizen before they take the UK vote?
Answers:
Why not! We tolerate them have and do anything else that they want to do, so why not let anyone who comes here for a visit enjoy a vote as well. Common wealth & EU citizens can in local elections but lone British subjects in a general election.
Irish citizens resident in the UK (can't speak for Scotland) and registered to vote can also vote surrounded by National Elections. British citizens resident in the Republic of Ireland can register to vote & vote in all elections including national elections but not referenda - for more details read the Ireland Act 1949 (the UK & the Republic hold separate acts with the same baptize, they more or less mirror one another), they're both dull & full of legalese.

An asylum seeker/refugee granted Indefinite Leave to Remain will eventually qualify for British citizenship because if they follow the rules, remain in the country they will eventually fulfil the residency requirement mandatory to apply citizenship.
You can vote if you are a Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland.
EU citizens are entitled to vote in LOCAL and EUROPEAN elections only.
I don't see the justification for any NON-British Citizen to be given a vote contained by British affairs. As far as the EU is concerned each member country elect Members to represent their interests in the European Parliament ,and it is for them to Vote on European affairs next to their own country in mind. I would go even further to say that any British MP have to hold a British Passport - not a Dual Passport relating to his country of origin. Similarly The House of Lords should follow the same rules for participating in British affairs. Imagine the Fact that MUGABE is a accomplice of the House of LORDS ?
Ridiculous --don't you agree? Yes they can - and before you start hoo haing over it, why don't you consider that only 25% of people who enjoy the right to vote actually use it!
Before you start moaning about who should/shouldn't vote get past its sell-by date your @ss and use your own vote first!
Being as the people who are registered to vote are legal, and pay their National Insurance and taxes - why shouldn't they vote? the relations who shouldn't be able to vote are the dole dossers who will always vote for the party promising the most benefits.
Anyone with an EU passport can vote in British local elections.. yep, you heard me right.. shocking isn't it?
If you are given go off to remain in the UK from anywhere in the world, you have the right to vote also.
It's amazing how frequent people don't know that any EU citizen can vote in British local elections.. When the council send you forms to put you on the register, enjoy a close look at it and you will see exactly who is entitled to vote.. You don't even need to be Resident, just hold an EU Passport.
if you come here from an EU member state, then you are entitled to vote even if you cant speak! or even realize!! English.....insanity!!.....well yes. but this is the EU and the labour party. you'l hold to get used to it. (plenty more to come.) you have to be on the electoral role, and i guess you have to be a british citizen to do this.
As have been pointed out all EU citizens can vote, if they are on the electoral roll. Why do you think that Labour is import so many Eastern Europeans and has yet to own a General Election? Because in 2 years time the Immigrant vote will put them back into power as the Labour spin will tell adjectives the unwanted Immigrants that a change of government will have them adjectives sent home. members of the commonwealth can vote, so Zimbabweans, Zambians, and many other Africans can vote. i think its right that they vote, if they are paying taxes next its only just that their interests be served as well. i come up with hard working immigrants deserve to vote more than lazy society who live on council estate and depend on the government to feed them whilst they breeed like chickens. a tough working immigrant does better for england than some of these people
everybody who is officially recognized resident in UK can vote in local councel elections.
you need not to be citizen of UK for that. yes everyone who is legitimately resident here can vote.
No they can't vote unless they are British citizens. No they can't.
