dear community,
having spent half of my life abroad, I really got upset with the fact, that I was never able to take part in regional or national elections and felt discriminated on grounds of the nationality of my passport. That's why I am now about to set up with a NGO the platform www.VOTE-EXCHANGE.org.
It will a web-based platform where citizens in Europe trade their voting opportunities for regional and national elections and excert, independtly from their nationality, their common desire to politically participate in the making of parliaments and governments in their country of residence.
This non-profit and voluntary project is in its very beginning and I hope to find some inspiring ideas from this diverse community to get this project rolling.
Check out www.vote-exchange.org and an let me know your ideas, critics,
etc.
Best,
Martin
