Passport to Austria was founded by a journalist who has covered the subject of the refugee experience and citizenship restitution. Passport to Austria arranges webinars to answer questions about life in Austria in cooperation with Austrians who are interested to engage with their new compatriots. Passport to Austria has particularly helpful and robust resources including webinars related to dual citizens / new nationals voting in Austria. It’s a must watch for new voters and an excellent way to begin to understand the political paradigm. Parents, please note, Austria was the first and is still one of the only European countries to have a voting age of 16 in nationwide elections.
