In the first place, it considers the historical and legal context, detailing existing mechanisms for foreigners' suffrage as well as those being debated for the implementation of non-resident citizens' suffrage. Secondly, it considers the quantitative dimension of foreigners' suffrage as well as the possible weight of non-resident citizens' electoral participation.

Finally, it assesses the political and institutional impact of transnational suffrage in Uruguay.
