Disagree

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

Disagree

Yes, but only if they are European Union citizens

While the AfD might view European Union citizens more favorably than non-EU foreigners, the party's overall stance on sovereignty and national identity, including its criticism of the EU, suggests that it would still oppose granting them voting rights in Germany. The AfD has expressed skepticism towards the EU and its influence on German sovereignty, which would extend to opposition against EU citizens voting in Germany.

Disagree

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

While this answer imposes a significant residency requirement, which might seem to align with a more conservative viewpoint on immigration, the AfD's core policies and public statements suggest a general opposition to granting voting rights to non-citizens, regardless of their duration of residency.

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

The party typically does not support policies that equate financial contribution with political rights.
