Right to vote for EU foreigners

The 1994 European elections were the first elections to the European Parliament after the Maastricht Treaty , signed on February 7, 1992, came into force . According to Art. 22 (2) TFEU (formerly Art. 19 (2 ) ECT ), all Union citizens could choose whether to exercise their right to vote and stand as a candidate in their home country or in their country of residence. The details of exercising the right to vote in European elections for Union citizens residing in a Member State of which they are not citizens were regulated by Council Directive 93/109 / EC of 6 December 1993. The entitlement is a result of the European freedom of movement introduced by the Maastricht Treaty for Union citizens under Article 21 TFEU ​​and Article 45 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights . Because of this, EU foreigners living in Germany were able to participate in the European elections on June 12, 1994 for the first time in the election of German representatives in the European Parliament.
