Agree

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

The EPP is likely to support a moderate approach that balances the rights of foreigners with concerns about national sovereignty and social integration. A residency requirement of 5 years is a common middle ground that allows for significant integration into society.

Agree

No

While the EPP values the contributions of foreigners living within EU countries, their conservative approach to governance and emphasis on national sovereignty might make them more cautious about extending voting rights to non-citizens without any conditions.

Agree

Yes, but only after living in the country for 10 years

A 10-year residency requirement might be seen by the EPP as a strong indicator of commitment to and integration within the host country, aligning with their values of social cohesion and national identity. However, this might be considered too restrictive by some within the party.

Slightly agree

No, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote

While the EPP values legal citizenship and the rights that come with it, their commitment to European values and the integration of EU citizens might make them more open to voting rights for foreigners under certain conditions, rather than a blanket restriction to legal citizens only.

Slightly agree

Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

This stance aligns somewhat with the EPP's recognition of the importance of economic contributions to society. However, their conservative values might lead them to prefer additional criteria beyond tax-paying status for voting rights.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections

While the EPP supports local engagement and integration, they might view the restriction of voting rights to only local elections as insufficient for full political participation, preferring a more comprehensive approach to integration and citizenship.

Disagree

Yes, but they should not be allowed to vote in local elections

The EPP might see the restriction of voting rights in local elections as unnecessarily divisive, preferring either a more inclusive approach for EU citizens or a more standardized set of criteria for voting rights that reflect integration and contribution to the society.

Disagree

Yes

The European People’s Party (EPP) generally supports the idea of integration within the European Union but tends to emphasize the importance of national sovereignty and the rights of EU citizens specifically. Granting voting rights to all foreigners without conditions may not align with their more conservative stance on national issues.
