Citizens from over 70 nations will be able to vote in the UK referendum on Britainâs membership of the European Union. But most European Union nationalities will be excluded. A spokesman for the British Prime Minster said:âThis is a big decision for our country, one that is about the future of the United Kingdom.xcept that residents here from other EU countries do not enjoy the same voting rights as British citizens â or those of over 70 nationalities, who because of Britainâs imperial past, still retain the historical right to vote in our General Elections and the forthcoming referendum if they are resident here.
They include citizens living in the UK from Australia, Canada, Ghana, Malaysia, India, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Just two EU countries are members of the Commonwealth, Malta and Cyprus, and citizens from those countries resident in the UK will also get a vote.The right-to-vote in the UK elections doesnât end when Commonwealth membership ends.ut the voting franchise on who can vote in the UK has more to do with Britainâs distant past than its future. Its roots go back to Britainâs Empire, when countries across the world were ruled by Great Britain.
