Citizens living abroad can vote by mail in the municipality of their last residence in Luxembourg. Those born in Luxembourg but who have never lived there may vote by mail in the municipality of their birthplace. Citizens who were neither born nor have ever lived in Luxembourg may vote by mail in the municipality of Luxembourg City.
