'Great Britain also recently made it easier for British citizens abroad to register to vote back home. As of 1 April, British nationals living abroad can apply to register to vote by post; file a registration form with the signature of any British subject, rather than that of someone who knows them personally; and register to vote at any time of year under a so-called rolling electoral register system. Under previous law, British citizens wishing to apply for registration as overseas electors also had to have been registered at a UK address within 20 years before their application; that requirement has now been reduced to 15 years.'
All the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled to the sun can still cast their vote here if they so wish.
