Hello everyone,

As an expat, your day-to-day life in Mauritius is impacted by decision-making at the political level in your host country as well as in your country of origin. We would like to know how involved you think expats should be in the political day-to-day of either their host or home country?

Can expats vote during elections which take place in their country of origin? Can you do so online or through embassies/consulates in Mauritius?

What is the administrative process which has been set up in Mauritius to enable expats to vote in their country of origin?

To which extent should political life in Mauritius include expats and their concerns? Should they be more active as a community to make their voices heard?

Are there any precautionary measures to observe during election period in your host country? Any local prohibitions?

Do you keep up with politics in Mauritius?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Bhavna

Hi. Mauritian politics are among the most corrupt in the developed world . You only have to look at the recent election involving blatant vote rigging to realise this. There is no point in getting involved in Mauritian politics for this very reason . They don’t even try to hide the corruption , it is blatant
