Summary/Abstract: The present paper continues this debate, discussing possible solutions and reforms that would improve external and out of country voting (OCV), and enhance and enable political participation and representation of the Romanian diaspora. Departing from the perspective of political transnationalism it reinforces the argument of extended citizenship rights for migrants, and analyzes the possibility of introduction of electronic or postal vote and the impact of such changes on the electoral process, drawing comparisons with states that already use similar voting systems.
