Country links
editIn some country sections there are links from the country's adjective to the relevant country, in others not. Should there be links in every section or none at all?
France, Germany, Switzerland and the United States are mentioned in the lede and have links from both the lede and the section. Ireland is linked from the lede but not the section where there's a link from "elections in the Republic of Ireland" to that article. Do these links need editing?

Updates plus expanding the "general part"
editI propose to update the long lead section and split some of the information in this section into additional paragraphs on 1) variation across countries in regard to voter eligibility, voting modalities etc. 2) historical development of nonresident citizen voting 3) causes and consequences 4) normative debates (pros and cons).

New title
editI propose to change the title of the article from "right of expatriates to vote in their country of origin" to "non-resident citizen voting." The proposed title is shorter and aligns much better with the language used in the scholarly literature on this topic. If anyone has objections please respond.

- @Droste1977 To be honest I'd much prefer to have the title as "overseas voting" or something similar as it's a simpler title. OzzyOlly (talk) 20:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- I still prefer "non-resident citizen voting." I grant that it is not as simple as "overseas voting" but it is shorter than the original title. It is also more precise and gets at what is at stake here. As someone pointed out in the talk page on "overseas constituency", these constituencies are not necessarily "overseas." The issue is not about crossing oceans but whether citizens should have the right to vote in a country where they are citizens but not residents and may in fact never have been residents. A different but related issue, to be covered in another article, is whether people who are residents but not citizens should have voting rights.Blaze Droste1977 01:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Droste1977 I guess in theory we could use "expatriate," but it's usually defined as someone living outside a country temporarily (though I've seen others omit that). I would say "non-resident citizen voting" is a good enough title, however. OzzyOlly (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- @OzzyOlly Thank you. I will make the change. Blaze Droste1977 13:48, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
