Findings of a survey on the 2006 Italian expatriate vote in Australia

The aim of this paper is to offer a clearer picture of the array of views and opinions of expatriate Italians in Australia in relation to their understanding of the meaning and consequences of having the right to vote and elect representatives for their 'home' country parliament. This is based on the data primarily collected through a questionnaire distributed among overseas Italians living in Australians and voted in the Italian elections of April 2006.
