Globalisation is one of the fundamental on-going phenomena of the first part of the 21st century. Travel in general and therefore migration have become easier, but not so much as virtual, instantaneous communication. Whereas in the past many emigrants lost contact with their country of origin, this is not anymore the case and they remain much more acquainted with the developments in this country, including in the field of politics. Moreover, double citizenship is admitted in a much larger way than before, and naturalisation very often does not mean the loss of the first citizenship. The issue of vote from abroad has to be addressed in this context.
