"Until 2001 the Italian state offered citizens living abroad a free return train journey to their home town in Italy in order to vote." They still do this for some elections. I just received recently (in 2012) a postcard inviting me to vote for the mayor of my comune, but to do so I would have had to travel there. The card can be used for free rail transit within Italy, though, exactly as this article describes. For parliamentary elections, however, I can vote by mail.Gmalcolms (talk) 15:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
