Legal immigrants should be able to vote as long as they can pass a political test that makes them eligible to vote

 @9JC2SG6Labouranswered…3mos3MO

Yes, if they are here legally, they should be allowed to vote at least in local elections. Depending on their circumstances (how long they have been here, how long they intend to stay, etc.) many should also be allowed to vote in regional and national elections, too.

 @9HZW34Hanswered…3mos3MO

They must have: - citizenship - living in country for more than 10 years and it is depending on what country you have come from

 @9HTXGDXanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, but only after living in the country for 5 years

Residents qualify to apply for citizenship after 5 years, but not all can afford to pay for the citizenship. However living in UK for 5 years should give them the right to vote. Changes to the policies will affect them.

Until you are a fully naturalised citizen you should not be able to vote. That being said those who have British citizenship, but live abroad should not be able to be excluded from voting.

 @95Y4443answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as long as they pay taxes/ actively work and lived in the country for over 5 years

 @95WVN3Kanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but only after living here for 5 years unless they have moved due to displacement or through evacuation processes. Then they should be given right on entry to country

 @95WCV9BReclaimanswered…2yrs2Y

No, only legal citizens residing in the country should be allowed to vote

 @95TLNZ3answered…2yrs2Y

Only if they have lived in Britain for 7 years and can prove they pay taxes on all their world wide income to HMRC

 @95TD79Tanswered…2yrs2Y

So long as they are either citizens or permanent residents. I suppose you could also make a reasonable argument for eu citizens who lived in the UK pre brexit. But just having to currently reside in a country during the time of an election shouldn't give people the right to vote.

 @95KDZ85answered…2yrs2Y

 @944N37Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, if planning on residing in the United Kingdom for the next 4 years.

 @944L6FNanswered…2yrs2Y

If they are working and have become UK citizens for between 1-3 years I don’t see why not

 @943NVX9answered…2yrs2Y

I think they should have to live here for a certain amount of time, pay taxes and NI in the country

 @9426M4Fanswered…2yrs2Y

If they reside for the amount of time the elected official is in power.
