Question for UK DUers. Regarding Scottish independence referendum in Sept.

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. Are you living in Scotland at the moment? I think you'd need to be

unless you're on government/military service:

It is expected that the list of those who are eligible to vote will be the same as the list of those who can vote in Scottish Parliament and local authority elections, with the addition of 16 and 17 year olds who have not previously been able to vote.

This means that the following groups of people will be entitled to register to vote:

British citizens resident in Scotland.
Qualifying Commonwealth citizens resident in Scotland. This means Commonwealth citizens who either have leave to remain in the UK or do not require such leave, and are resident in Scotland.
Citizens of the Republic of Ireland and other EU countries resident in Scotland.
Members of the House of Lords resident in Scotland.
Service/Crown personnel serving in the UK or overseas in the Armed Forces or with Her Majesty’s Government who are registered to vote in Scotland.

Notice that a vote in the UK Parliament elections isn't enough:

British citizens living overseas can register and vote in European and British parliamentary elections but not elections to the Scottish Parliament or local elections.
