The future of Tallinn – local election debate

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.

But who should you vote for?

Join us for a debate at Philly Joe’s Club with some candidates for the city council of Tallinn!

We will have all major parties represented. The debate will be in English and is centred on the issues that are most relevant to the expat community living in Tallinn.

 

The debaters are:

Social Democrats – Raimond Kaljulaid
Green Party – Züleyxa Izmailova
Estonia 200 – Joakim Helenius
Reform Party – Pärtel-Peeter Pere
Isamaa – Urmas Reinsalu
Centre Party – Vladimir Svet
EKRE – Georg Kirsberg

The debate will be moderated by Joao Rei and Silver Tambur.

The seats will be limited, on a first-come-first-served basis!

The doors and the bar will open at 6:00 PM. The event will start at 7:00 PM sharp.

Yes, the COVID19. We urge people to ensure that everyone who wants to participate in the event monitors their health and arrives only if feeling well.
