The Prime Minister's office stated on 24 May 2015 that most citizens from the European Union living in the United Kingdom would not be allowed to vote in a forthcoming referndum on the UK's membership in the EU. It was announced that eligibility rules would be broadly the same as for a general election, rather than local or European votes. Irish citizens in the UK are eligible. Residents from two other EU nations, Malta and Cyprus, also qualify, along with others from the Commonwealth. Citizens under 18 years old would left out as well. |
