Abstract

>The article examines voting rights of non-resident citizens and noncitizen residents (transnational suffrage) in the case of Uruguay. In the first place, it considers the historical and legal context, detailing existing mechanisms for foreigners' suffrage as well as those being debated for the implementation of non-resident citizens' suffrage. Secondly, it considers the quantitative dimension of foreigners' suffrage as well as the possible weight of non-resident citizens' electoral participation. The qualitative dimension is also considered, including perceptions of non-resident citizens, non-citizen residents and the electorate in general. Finally, it assesses the political and institutional impact of transnational suffrage in Uruguay.
