Hello everyone,
As an expat, your day-to-day life in Saudi Arabia is impacted by decision-making at the political level in your host country as well as in your country of origin. We would like to know how involved you think expats should be in the political day-to-day of either their host or home country?
Can expats vote during elections which take place in their country of origin? Can you do so online or through embassies/consulates in Saudi Arabia?
What is the administrative process which has been set up in Saudi Arabia to enable expats to vote in their country of origin?
To which extent should political life in Saudi Arabia include expats and their concerns? Should they be more active as a community to make their voices heard?
Are there any precautionary measures to observe during election period in your host country? Any local prohibitions?
Do you keep up with politics in Saudi Arabia?
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Expat interest in politics in Saudi Arabia
We have to raise our voice where ever we are. In Saudi Arabia there is no way for expat to participate in political process but we can participate in our country as we are there.

Dear Bhavna,
Reference to your solicitation regarding expats' political activity. I can say that the host country do not prevent expats from exercising their right to vote conducted in their consulate for the political change in their respective country. Like in the last Philippine Election in May, Filipinoes were able to cast their votes in the Philippine Consulate.
As for the local political activities here, we are trying not to get involve in their internal political activity to be safe with.
regards,
