Only 13,462 foreign EU residents are registered to vote on October 1st

For the October 1st municipal elections, there are 9,396,680 registered Portuguese voters, fewer than in the September 2013 elections when over 9.5 million could vote.

The lower overall figure is due mainly to the hundreds of thousands of Portuguese citizens having left the country during the years of recession, most of whom have not come back.
