In Canada, voting is a function of residency, not citizenship. While I am still a Canadian citizen, I haven't been a resident since 1996 and so I'm no longer on the voting lists. I could be added to the lists, but only if I promise to return to Canada within two years. I have no plans to move back so I don't qualify.
