🌍 Brits Abroad: Lost Votes πŸ—³

 3 1/2 million British citizens living overseas are entitled to vote in UK elections, but only 200,000 are registered to do so. 

  •  What elections are they entitled to vote in?
  • How does it work?
  • How long does this entitlement to vote in UK elections last?
  • Why aren’t more Brits living overseas retaining their right to vote? 

 We hear from Mike Tuffrey & John Shardlow of the British Overseas Voters Forum to help us separate fact from fiction and understand the struggles Brits abroad face having a say in the future decisions in the UK.
