The right to be able to vote in a Greek election from the place and from the country of your permanent residency, if you are a Greek citizen, was a long-standing demand of politically active first-generation migrants for many decades now. Up until December 2019, Greek citizens permanently living abroad, who were on the electoral roll of Greece, could only vote in a national election if they were to travel to their country of origin. However, as a result of a rare for Greek politics consensus, and an overwhelming parliamentarian majority, where out of a total of 296 MPs present in Parliament, 288 voted in favour of granting the right to vote to Greek citizens living abroad (New Democracy, SYRIZA, KINAL (PASOK), KKE and the Greek Solution), one abstained and seven MeRA25 MPs voted against the bill, certain members of the Greek diaspora can now vote.
