Are you temporarily in Kenya for a period of at least three months but not a resident?

Are you here for work, study or medical treatment and your stay coincides with the date of the upcoming referendum?

You and any family members and/or cohabitants may exercise your right to vote by post (as per Article 4-bis, paragraph 1, Law No. 459 of 27 December 2001).

In order to receive the electoral package (containing the ballot papers) at their temporary address abroad, voters must send a specific request to the MUNICIPALITY where they are registered on the electoral roll by Wednesday 7 May 2025.

The option - which can be exercised using the form (click here to download it) on plain paper - must be sent to the municipality by post, ordinary or certified email, or delivered by hand, again to the municipality, including by a person delegated by the interested party.

The option, which must be accompanied by a copy of the voter's valid identity document, must in any case contain the complete foreign postal address to which the electoral package is to be sent (PO BOX mandatory) as well as the name of the consular office responsible for the territory. The option must also contain a declaration certifying that the voter meets the requirements for admission to vote by post, i.e. that they are in a foreign country for work, study or medical treatment for a period of at least three months (including the date of the elections) in which they are not registered as residents, or that they are a family member living with a citizen who meets the above conditions. In this sense, the procedure described also applies to Italian citizens registered with the AIRE who are temporarily residing in a CONSULAR DISTRICT other than that of their permanent residence.

The option must be exercised in accordance with Articles 46 and 47 of Presidential Decree No. 445 of 28 December 2000 (Consolidated Law on Administrative Documentation), declaring that you are aware of the criminal consequences of making false statements (Article 76 of the aforementioned Presidential Decree No. 445/2000).

The option submitted may be revoked in accordance with the above procedures within the same deadline (7 May 2025). Finally, please note that the option is valid only for the election to which it refers.
