Dear Fellow Italians,
This year, the elections for the renewal of the Committees of Italians Abroad (Com.It.Es) will be held.
The Com.It.Es are elected bodies, which represent Italian citizens and work towards the integration of the Italian communities residing in the foreign country in which they are active.
The elections for the renewal of Com.It.Es will be held by the end of 2021. Italian citizens over the age of 18 registered with AIRE (Registry of Italians Residing Abroad) and residing in the Consular jurisdiction prior to June 3, 2021 will be eligible to participate in this important electoral appointment.
The elections will take place by mail. The Consulate will mail electoral envelopes to voters that have requested to be registered in the electoral roll for the elections of Com.It.Es. by November 3rd.
Please be advised that requests to be included in the electoral roll may be done so online by visiting the Fast-It portal and clicking on “Consular Registry and AIRE,” followed by “Application for registration in the electoral roll for the COMITES elections.”
