Britain was not supposed to be taking part in the elections for the European Parliament as it was due to leave the bloc on March 29. However, the rejection of the divorce deal that Prime Minister Theresa May struck with Brussels meant Brexit was delayed until October, requiring the vote to go ahead. “I’m an EU citizen and registered to vote in time, but apparently my form saying that I was going to vote in the UK didn’t arrive before the deadline,” said Ana Clara Paniago.

“We understand the frustration of some citizens of other EU member states, resident in the UK, who have been finding they are unable to vote today when they wish to do so,” the Electoral Commission said in a statement.

British vote for British subjects

In my opinion all elections should be for British Subjects Only

Wait what

Angry at wanting to vote for a politician who's going to be out of work very shortly anyway? Why not have registered for postal voting and actually make a diffrence in the political structure they will still be a part of when we leave? NoLogic

I'm sure they want to vote in multiple countries

Watimz see this. SMH..

I don't believe that at all

Tough.

What a mess Britain is in! They can’t seem to get anything done properly.

They should just say ' I am a jihadist from Syria'

You mean the EU introduced laws for foreign meddling in national representation selection.. Never! 😂
