0 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 3 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

Voting Rights for all EU Citizenships An increasing number of EU citizens live in a different Member State. These residents pay taxes and send their children to school in their new home country. They are often politically engaged, some are even members of a local political party and raise their voice.
> > Challenges: Gisad welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to simplify elections for mobile citizens. In a digital concept, there must be no fundamental distinction between local, European and European Parliament elections. In order to avoid double elections, every citizen should be free to choose a main place of residence in the EU, regardless of the EU country in which he/she is born.

Background Ensuring the right to vote and stand for elections for persons with disabilities, including mobile EU citizens with psychosocial disabilities, is an obligation that the EU and its Member States have under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
In order to update the Directives to bring them in line with fundamental rights and non-discrimination mobile citizens need to be allowed to vote and stand in all types of municipal elections, and further this right must be extended to city-regional, as well as regional elections. Three policy options proposed: Option 1: It is insufficient. These measures need to be made in combination with legislative reform.
Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
