  • Emigrants typically differ from the origin population in terms of age, education, and political prefe-rences
  • Emigrants are also voting less in their country of origin even if they have the right to vote
  • As emigrants are not voting in their country of origin, their votes are missing
  • This can influence elections if emigration is large, and elections are tight
  • Policies facilitating voting for the diaspora can ensure better representation
