Information campaign with foreign communities resident in Portugal regarding the right to vote in local elections for all citizens of the European Union (including the UK registered until 31-12-2020) who are residents and register at the parish council (Junta de Freguesia) of residence.

CAMPAIGN TO REGISTER TO VOTE:

If you are a registered resident in Portugal and a EU citizen (or UK citizen that became a resident prior to 31-12-2020), in order to REGISTER TO VOTE in the next local elections (October 2021) all you have to do is:

1. Make an appointment (Covid-19 rules) at the “Junta de Freguesia” where you live (e.g. in Lagos, it could be São Gonçalo; in Luz, is Freguesia da Luz). Phone number and email must be posted at the door;
2. Take a photo ID (e.g. passport), resident certificate and an utility bill (water, gas, electricity, internet, etc) that shows your name and address.
