O voto dos emigrantes nas eleições portuguesas
Os emigrantes portugueses participam nas eleições para a Assembleia da República, para o Presidente
da República e para o Parlamento Europeu. O voto
nas eleições para a Assembleia da República é
exercido por correspondência e diz respeito à eleição de quatro dos 226 deputados (dois pelo círculo eleitoral da Europa e dois pelo círculo eleitoral do resto do mundo). O voto nas eleições para o Presidente da
República é obrigatoriamente presencial e pressupõe laços de efectiva ligação à comunidade nacional, cujos
critérios estão estabelecidos na lei. O número de
eleitores inscritos tem oscilado na última década entre
um máximo de 185.223 cidadãos em 2001 e um mínimo de 146.374 cidadãos em 2005. A taxa de
participação em voto por correspondência aproxima-se
dos 30% da Europa e dos 20 % no resto do mundo.
Sendo exigido o voto presencial, a taxa de participação
global verificada foi de 8,3% em 2001.
