Frank Ferreira is a proud Portuguese American, with dual citizenship, who believes that Portugal’s (including the Açores and Madeira) current electoral system is impractical, injurious, unfair, discriminatory, and unconstitutional for the Portuguese living abroad. In short, what we have is an abridgement of constitutional rights.
Ferreira also believes that the solution is to permit all voters, including those who have emigrated, to vote online, in-person (where practical), and by mail in all elections, like it is allowed currently for the national legislative elections.
According to the Portuguese Constitution, election law requires the in-person, presential vote, as the single method of voting. This requirement prevents millions of Portuguese leaving abroad from exercising their constitutional right to participate in the electoral process.
