@fabio I intentionally chose "expatriate" as an accurate and clear term for describing citizens who live outside their nation of citizenship.
"Expatriate" and "emigrant" are almost synonyms, but "emigrant" is less well known and suggests greater permanence.
I considered "overseas citizens", "voters abroad", and other terms, but I settled on expatriate because it's clear and accurate.

@evan Good point!

@evan I like how Germany does things. Not only can Germans who live abroad vote, European (non-German) citizens can also vote in Germany for local parliaments. They can also vote in the European Parliament elections.
I would love it if non-European citizens living in Germany had the same possibility. I also think it would be good if they could vote at state level.

@fabio say "emigrant" then. If you're living outside of Brazil, you're not an immigrant to Brazil.

@evan though only in national elections, not local ones.

@evan I’m a Brazilian immigrant* and not only we can but we have to - vote is mandatory in Brazil. I only need to vote in presidential elections though.
* expat is a problematic word
