The right or the privilege of voting is most frequently interpreted and connected to the rights of citizenship or nationality. From this perspective, it is a duty and privilege of persons owing loyalty to a state or nation. On that basis, it is most common that constitutions and other legislation stipulate that in principle voting rights are enjoyed by people possessing state citizenship, or nationality. At the same time, there is a strong movement and process of enfranchisement of foreign residents. The process has already resulted in political and legal achievements - nationally and internationally.
