Poland, UK sign bilateral voting rights treaty

Both Polish and British citizens can continue to stand and vote in local elections in each other's countries following the UK's exit from the EU under a new agreement signed by the two governments, the Polish foreign minister said in a Friday statement. The treaty signed by Poland and the UK on Friday ensures that Polish citizens living in the UK and British people living in Poland have the right to choose who represents them in local government in the country where they reside.
