ALT Wahlbeteiligung deutscher Staatsangehöriger bei der EU-Parlamentswahl 2019 nach Migrationsstatus, in Prozent: Nur 25 Prozent der Befragten, die sich während der EU-Wahl 2019 außerhalb der EU aufgehalten haben, haben gewählt - verglichen mit 84 Prozent der Befragten, die vor der Wahl außerhalb der EU lebten und zum Zeitpunkt der Befragung wieder nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt waren. Bei Befragten, die sich während der Europawahl 2019 im EU-Ausland aufhielten, lag die Wahlbeteiligung bei knapp 70 Prozent, verglichen mit 80 Prozent bei Befragten, die sich im Vorfeld der Wahl in einem Drittland aufhielten und zu dem Zeitpunkt der Befragung wieder nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt waren.

Ideally, EU citizens should be able to exercise both rights simultaneously. Yet, in practice, there is a tension between the two: Despite their strong emotional attachment to the European Union, EU citizens residing outside their country of citizenship have a reduced like-lihood to vote in European elections.

ALT Graph showing registration deadlines for the 2024 European election for mobile Europeans living in other EU member states. There are almost as many different deadlines as there are countries. Registration deadlines are very early, often more than one month before the election. The most extreme case is registration in Spain, which was due more than four months before the election.
ALT Graph showing the descriptive differences between four groups in terms of their self-reported turnout at the 2019 European election. Migrants currently living abroad had a reduced likelihood to vote compared to migrants who have returned to their country of citizenship, Germany. Current global migrants have by far the lowest likelihood to have voted.
