El voto transnacional de las diásporasde Estados sub-nacionales: el caso dela Comunidad Foral de Navarra

Objective: To analyze the emerging challenges resulting from the introduction of new theoretical frameworks, with a primary focus on transnationalism, as applied to migration studies. In particular, the focus on diasporas as international actors and their political participation in both the origin and destination countries centers on issues such as citizenship, dual citizenship, and voting. This work focuses on sub-national states, which, by definition, do not possess their own sovereignty and, therefore, cannot grant citizenship or voting rights. Methodology: This is a quantitative study based on data provided by state agencies of the Spanish government. Results: The analysis shows that transnational participation is low, although it is growing. In such a complex electoral system, every vote is crucial, which underscores the importance of ensuring the diaspora's voice is heard. Conclusions: The diaspora's vote is important both for the group and for Navarre, as it provides a different perspective and an additional political approach that is enriching.
