 |
|
I am aware that someone with an F5 Visa is permitted to vote in local elections as long as they have had the F5 Visa for a period of 3 years or longer.
Does anyone know if the regulations have changed or will be changed that will allow us to vote in the next Presidential elections in 2017?
Thanks |

| That probably wont happen. They seem to follow the American system and as of now Permanent residents can't vote for President in America. |

| F 5 voting rights are a myth. |

Trolling 101: Don't make a claim that can be easily refuted.
Foreign residents who have an F-5 visa have been able to vote since the elections of May, 2006. I was amongst the first few to exercise that right during those elections. |

| Yeah, this month was my second time voting as an F5... but I doubt it'll ever be possible in a presidential election here. |

I'm also not holding my breath for it. Besides, I'm content with being able to vote in local elections. |
