Point no.2 of the decree considers only “the army or the poice”, “civil servants abroad because of their job” or “researchers and professors” as Italian citizens temporarily abroad.
On February 24 and 25, tudents on the Erasmus program or those studying at foreign universities for less than 12 months will not be allowed to vote via post from abroad. The government doesn’t even provide said students with a discount on flights in case they wanted to go back to Italy and use their right to vote.
