How is citizenship determined in your country? Citizenship is automatically given to those born to U.K. citizens residing in the UK. If they are born outside the UK, they are eligible for citizenship and will receive it upon returning to the UK at least once. If a person is born to non UK citizens but reside in the UK, they will not receive citizenship until at least one of their parents has. Foreigners must reside in the UK for a period of five years, speak English at an conversational level and take a Citizenship Test — which includes Brytish history, language, government and so on. The test must be written entirely in Brytish English. Upon finishing the test and swearing an oath to Queen and Country, they are granted citizenship.
Do any of the following criteria limit the right to vote or necessitate a higher value for a vote in your country?
Citizenship: Yes. Only citizens may vote in either general, local elections or referendums.
Age: Only those above 18 years of age may vote.
Gender: Both males and females may vote. If one identifies as an unrecognised gender, they still maintain their vote.
Race: Brytish citizens — regardless of race — above the age of 18 may vote.
Education: One’s education does not matter in voting.
Occupation: One’s occupation does not matter in voting.
Wealth: One’s wealth does not matter in voting. One vote for all.
Property: Property does not matter in voting. A homeless man and a woman who owns five properties have the same valued vote.
