The local elections in municipalities across Estonia, including in Tallinn, will take place on 17 October 2021.
In the Tallinn City Council elections, the eligibility to vote is also granted to European Union citizens who have a permanent place of residence in Tallinn on the basis of the Population Registry as of 17 September 2021 (and who are at least 16 years of age on the day of election) and to foreign nationals who have a permanent place of residence in Tallinn and who reside in Estonia on the basis of a long-term residence permit or a permanent right of residence.
Over 20,000 people from the EU member states live in Estonia, majority of them in Tallinn – and their common language, as well as for other expats – is usually English.
